The Capitoline Museums, located on Capitol Hill, are among the oldest public museums in the world. A lesser-known tip allows visitors to access the restaurant terrace for exceptional panoramic views of Rome, especially at sunset.

Access the museum's restaurant terrace via a side entrance for a free, stunning sunset view over Rome without entering the main museum.
In their own words: “It's actually right there at Capitol Hill. It's in the Capitol Museum. And you don't have to actually pay to go into the museum. There's a side entrance where you can go up some stairs, go into the restaurant there, and they have a huge terrace overlooking Rome. And from there, you get great views, great sunsets of Rome.”
