The Colosseum alone gets around 4 million visitors a year, so it’s no surprise that you’re going to run into lots of people while in Rome and probably feel overwhelmed at times. Don’t let that deter you though. Here are 2 spots that aren’t as crowded with tourists which are great for taking a breather from this big city!
Beautiful Spots to Escape The Crowds in Rome
1. Orange Garden
The Orange Trees Garden, also called Savello Park, is located on Aventine Hill. With Aventine Hill being one of the hills Rome was built on (so super historic) you’d think that a lot of people would be at this garden, but nope!
There are tons of people waiting in line down the hill from this park to look through the famous keyhole where you can see St. Peter’s Basilica, but this particular area had mostly locals as far as I could see and they were just hanging out, talking, and resting their eyes.
The views are beautiful and it feels nice to look at something without being crammed in with a ton of other people.
2. Palazzo Venezia
This courtyard feels like a hidden gem! Even though it’s right next to the very popular Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, everyone seems to be over there and this Palazzo is almost empty.
It’s so beautiful with gardens, fountains, and benches for you to sit on and take in the view. Not only that, but the architecture is really cool too! I didn’t have time to dive in deep, but since palazzo means palace, I’m sure there’s more exploring you could do here!
I’m totally there for any beautiful park or courtyard. Then put quiet and peaceful with it? Well, it just got even better!
I hope you’ll remember these two beautiful spots to escape the crowds in Rome on your next trip there!
Which of these two is your favorite?

I like the Orange Garden! You can just sit and just look at people. Enjoy the sights too!
I like when you can just sit and relax!
Gorgeous pictures! You are really making me miss Rome. The Orange garden is my absolute favourite place in Rome. Might need to look at tickets for August bank holiday.
That’d be so fun!
I can totally relate. I would rather go to the less “touristy” places and find majestic views like these. I don’t like long lines, that is my pet peeve. The Orange Garden is beautiful. What a nice place to relax!
Oh yes, long lines are annoying!
A garden definitely looks like a place where you could get away from the crowds and have a brief respite. This seems like a great destination I would love to visit.
I think you’d love it!
I love how even the quiet spots of Rome are so romantic and artistic. It’s my dream to visit and get to experience the city and the country. I even learned Italian because I love the culture and music so much!
Oh wow! True dedication right there. I hope you get to go one day!
