Besides the capital’s monuments there are other panoramic spots that are less mainstream but nevertheless valid to snap great pictures to share and save. Let’s see some of them:
- Giardino degli Aranci (Garden of orange trees): photograph lovers will not be disappointed if they wind up in the Garden of orange trees with a camera latched on their necks. With just a goround you can admire several panoramic spots of Rome and have great fun taking pictures of them.
