About Gianicolo Hill in Rome
Rome is known as the city of seven hills, but it is more than that. Gianicolo Hill is not counted in the famous seven hills of the Rome. The hill offers a breathtaking scenic view of Central Rome.
It is outside the ancient city and very close to historic places like Vatican. The hill is also known as Janiculum hill. This is a perfect place for the sight lover as well as for history lovers. One of the highest hill in Rome, Gianicolo Hill shares the neighborhood with Trastevere.
Scenic beauty digs in your heart
Its panoramic scenic beauty has kept its significance in the city of Rome even after it is not included in famous seven. The beautiful sight includes many famous historic centers such as Dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral, Borghese Villa, and Galleria Borghese. Some of the historic churches can be seen. This place has a great history.
Janiculum is the name of a town founded by God Janus. A wall and a bridge that was built along with Tiber to join the rest of the city protected it.
The place is very popular in Italy for its war history. One of the colorful personalities of Italy, Giuseppe Garibaldi has a large statue at the top. This brave man was a general who fought in the liberation movements in Brazil and Uruguay. The hill is also known for its defense against French troops.
Attractions at Gianicolo Hill
The special thing about this place is its tradition. Cannon on the top of this hill is fired every day (obviously without the ball) at the time of noon in order to mark the hour. It was stopped for a few years from 1939, but currently firing every day. This is a great experience to watch this tradition.
Acqua Paola: Toward the southern end of Gianicolo Hill is the Acqua Paola Fountain, a beautiful marble made fountain that serves as the background for the Roman wedding photos.
Orto Botanico: On the east side of this hill, Botanical Garden adds to its beauty. A huge variety of fauna was initially used for medical purposes. The garden was originally made during the time of Pope Benedict VIII and now belongs to Sapienza University of Rome. Now, it contains modern greenhouse and fountains.
The Puppet Theater: it is a great source of entertainment as there is a tiny stage of the Teatrino di Pulcinella al Gianicolo. A group performs open-air puppet shows using the hand puppets called Pulcinella. You do not have to pay any penny to watch this show as this is free of cost.
Manfredi Lighthouse: At the top, Manfredo Manfredi built Janiculum Lighthouse in 1911. It was a gift by Italian immigrants in Argentina to their homeland’s capital.
San Pietro in Montorio: The famous church near the Independence War Memorial was built in 1481. It was constructed upon the request of the Spanish king Ferdinand II.
These all the monuments make this a perfect place to visit. You must visit Gianicolo Hill if you have gone to Italy.

Kameswari's 4 days trip to London
I immensely thank Mr. Prashant Daroch & Mr. Shubham Gupta for having taken keen interest and booked out tickets meticulously, our Hotel bookings were done taking into consideration the closest distance from the station, so that it was within the walking distance, the guided tours and also the pick up from the Airport in Rome, the trip to Amalfi Coast covering Ravello, Positano & Sorrento, guided tour to Pompeii from Naples, the tour to Pisa from Florence were superb. All the inter city transfers were booked by trains & there was never a hitch i.e., transfer from Rome to Naples, Naples to Florence, Florence to Padova. Even the "Hop-on & Hop-off" bus tickets were booked in Rome and it was very convenient way of seeing the place at your convenience & added convenience was that the boarding & ending points were close to our Hotel (within walking distance). The Hotels booked were very good and made our stay comfortable in every way be it food, the cleanliness & a always ambience. Mr. Prashant & Mr. Shubham were always very courteous & did their best to help us out with our itinerary , tickets, hotel booking, tours, train tickets etc and also my invoices were provided. In all our group of eight people has a fabulous tour which will forever remain etched in our memories. A wonderful job by Mr Prashant & Mr. Shubham. The duo really deserves accolades. Thank you for everything. Regards. G Kameswari Mob- 7506195992hemant

Hemant's 10 days trip to Europe
Me and my wife planned 11 days trip to France and Italy during mid Feb'19. To say that our trip planner Siddhant and his team put together the experience of a lifetime for us, still somehow seems an understatement! When we started planning this trip, we spoke to about two to three different travel planners and while almost all of them were thorough and impressive in their own ways, Siddhant was the one who provided itinerary suggestions which were real time and exactly what we were looking for. Siddhant himself is quite familiar with various destinations across Europe and hence his expertise helped us in planning a wonderful trip. We started our trip from Paris. We stayed in Paris for three days and covered many known places like Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame etc. We also did cruise ride and even visited Indian street in Paris, named Gare du Nord, which had every Indian thing available. From Paris we travelled to Venice and stayed there for two days. Our stay was booked on the canal, which gave an edge to the whole trip. We visited beautiful islands in Venice like Murano, Burano and Torcello. We also enjoyed the scenic beauty of Venice by foot. Did Gandora ride, which was one of the lifetime experience. In Venice we did some shopping too and relished mouth watering handmade chocolates too. From there we travelled to Florence and stayed there for two days. Florence is a perfect place to be discovered on foot, it has very fine and breathtaking architecture. We also did a one day Tuscany tour where we covered Vienna, Siena, vine tasting etc. We were lucky enough to locate and dine in Indian Restaurants in Florence. From Florence we visited our last stop Rome. We stayed in Rome for 3 days and were able to see some lovely places like Colosseum, Vatican City, Fountain Triveni etc. Siddhant helped us in planning everything, right from perfect commute to choosing proper stay location so that we could easily travel to/from station by foot. He also helped us in figuring out stay duration at each place and also helped us in deciding right flight/train timings so we don’t end up wasting a day in just commuting. It’s so important to plan things right when you are travelling by yourself (no group). It turned out to be the most amazing and memorable trip of our lives. And we intend to book our future trips with Siddhant and his team. Thank you Team Duniya Safari :)Ankit Choudhary

Ankit's 9 days trip to Europe
"Travel with no regrets" is what i would like to say before planning on to any trip. So i had booked a 9 Nights and 10 Days customised package to Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice) and Austria (Vienna). Well where do i start from right from airport pick, the hotel bookings, Places recommended, City tours, train travel to different cities and drop-off at the airport everything was so smooth with Street Romeo Travel planner ; they also are always there to help you if you have any queries during the trip too without any issues. Also the really good part was the pickup and drop off at the airport cause we were provided with chauffeur driven Mercedes E class cars which is usually not common and majority of the travel agents don't provide & this had not cost us extra at all everything was well within the budget estimate provided to us. I came across Street Romeo Travel planner through Travel Triangle, and they were the one who had given me the best budget for the trip so with no questions asked we went ahead with them. Great Job Team Street Romeo Travel Planner. Keep it up!! Cheers.Ranjeet Salve

Ranjeet's 10 days trip to Europe
Our Italy trip of 10 days i.e 3-nights rome, 3-nights florence , 2-nights in venice, 2 nights in milan was good. The hotel location of Milan could have been better, although it was close to the main Milan train station the area wasn't good and safe as per the receptionist of the hotel, even we could feel the same when we used to go out. One day hop-on hop-off service should have been provided in Milan in the package. There's nothing much to explore in Milan, I would suggest instead of Milan a country side destination should have been added like the amalfi coast. If we get an early train like 9:00 Am from rome to florence than 2 nights are enough in florence as venice is so pretty we felt instead of 3 night in florence we should have got 3-nights in venice. The sim card which was provided had alot of internet connection issues. The experience was good overall and we enjoyed our trip.Nitish Agrawal

Nitish's 7 days trip to Europe
I went on a 9 days Italy trip with my wife and 1 yr old daughter. Trip was planned by Shashank from I need trip. From the very first call, the itinerary seemed interesting and value for money. He took care of each and every small need of ours and modified the package as and when needed. We spent 4 nights Milan ( including day tour to lake Como and Lugano and one day tour of Venice ) personally felt that one day tour of Venice from Milan is better than staying in Venice. the tours arranged were excellent. 2 days Florence and 2 days Rome. The location of hotels were extremely convenient.. in the heart of the city, close to metro stations and numerous food options around. We didn’t face any challenges. Following are the points for improvement: There were tours of lake como and Lugano which allowed baby strollers that would have made it easier for us in the day long excursion. So for families with infants try to book those tours. The last tour.. vetican and colosseum one day.. was kind of hectic as we had to move from vetican to colosseum on our own. There were tours which covered the transfer as well. Overall it was a fabulous experience.. full marks for hotels , trains and flights. Specially hotel Axial in Florence.. it’s is located right in the center of the city where all important tourist places are 2-3 mins walk Thanks to your team for making it a memorable trip for us! .Gnanasekar Kuppuswamy

Saisree's 9 days trip to Italy
We contacted Duniya Safari for a customized Italy trip covering 3 cities - Rome, Florence and Venice and they really exceeded our expectations! Everything about the trip was so well-organized and coordinated. Right from the airport to hotel transfers, hotel bookings, inter-city transfers and sight-seeing vouchers- everything went very smoothly. The high-light of the trip was a day trip to the Tuscany region and Piza with a wine-tasting lunch at a family-run vineyard. A special thanks to Mayuri Ganguly from Duniya Safari for making this trip so memorable for my family and me!Shalini Ramachandran

Parag's 7 days trip to Bali
It was nice trip. Good service from local agent. Some of the sightseeing points were not worth go to like monkey forest. Villa was far from city. And was difficult to rome in the night while stay in villa. For second hotel stay we had already asked agent for pool view room but we didn't got so it was bad experience. Bad point was like we had to pay extra around 50 dollars for sports activities even though they were included in our package. I forget to ask this to agent but I also didn't received any call from agent which they should do. Let's see after review..Want best packages handpicked just for you?
