The Capitoline is just behind the Vittoriano. - The Dome of St. Peter's Basilica: You can observe the dome from the piazza or you can walk to the top or take the elevator to the halfway point which is not really FREE, but inexpensive. The climb inside the dome is a lot of legwork, but the view over Rome is worth it. Take Metro Line A; Ottaviano stop, or Bus 40 Express to Piazza Pia.

-

Piazza del Campidoglio (The Capitoline Hill): This Renaissance piazza is one of the best spots to view Rome, especially at sunset. In the middle of the piazza, which was designed by Michelangelo, you'll find a copy of a bronze statue of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius on horseback (the original is now inside the Capitoline Museums). Visit the terraces on either side of the Palazzo Senatorio for heart-stopping views of the Roman Forum, especially when all lit up at night. - Il Vittoriano (Vittoro Emanuele Monument): On the backside of the “typewriter” there is a wonderful view of the Foro Romano and the Colosseo. - Gianicolo (Janiculum Hill): Look down over all of Rome's monuments. You can reach the summit by walking from Via Garibaldi in Trastevere. There is a cannon which goes off daily at noon. The bus 870 runs from Piazza Fiorentini (off Corso Vittorio Emanuele, where it meets the Tiber) but I have always walked up from Trastevere. - Aventino (Aventine Hill) : A favorite place of mine in Rome is the Giardino degli Aranci/Parco Savello (the Orange Garden). There is one of Rome's prettiest gardens with a beautiful view over Trastevere. About 20 yards from the Orange Garden, is a piazza. Look for a large door with a small keyhole. Peek through for a tree-lined view of the dome of St. Peter's. You can take Metro Line B and get off at Circo Massimo. Then walk north along the Circus Maximus and turn left up the hill (Via Valle Murcia to Via di Santa Sabina). - The Pincio (Pincian Hill): This viewpoint is a part of the Borghese Gardens, above Piazza del Popolo. It is not far from the Spanish Steps. Here you will find wonderful views of St. Peter's and the Vittoriano (Victor Emanuel monument). Take the Metro Line A; the stop is Spagna. You can also take the 117 electric bus, if it passes your way, and get off at the Piazza del Popolo. - Starting at 7 p.m. every night, Irish-operated Angel Tours offers a free 30-minute tour of the Pantheon in small groups. Show up at the Pantheon and look for the tour guides holding umbrellas with angels on them. If coming with a large group, call ahead. +39 06 77 20 30 48. - Sky Tours Rome offers free hour-long tours of Saint Peter's Basilica Mondays through Saturdays at 9 a.m. +39 34 72 84 08 28.
