Walking
If you're in the heart of Trastevere, start by heading towards Viale di Trastevere. From here, walk north along Viale di Trastevere until you reach the intersection with Via Garibaldi. Turn left onto Via Garibaldi and continue walking straight. You'll begin to notice a slight incline as you approach Janiculum Hill. Follow Via Garibaldi until you see the entrance to the hill on your right.
Public Transport (Bus)
For a quicker option, you can take the bus. Look for the bus stop on Viale di Trastevere and catch Line 8 in the direction of 'Arenula-Cairoli'. Get off at the 'Gianicolo' stop, which is close to the entrance of Janiculum Hill. From there, you can walk a short distance to reach the scenic spots on the hill. Note that a single bus ticket costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 minutes.
Taxi or Ride-Sharing
If you prefer a more comfortable option, you can take a taxi or use a ride-sharing app. Simply request a ride to 'Janiculum Hill' or provide the address: 'via Garibaldi, Salita di Sant'Onofrio, 00165 Roma RM'.
