Nature/outdoor
Decima Malafede is one of the largest nature reserves in the Rome metropolitan area, covering woodland and farmland southwest of the city centre and offering an escape well beyond the reach of most day-trip itineraries. Its elevated points reportedly give some of the clearest long-distance views over Rome available from any of the city's green spaces on a clear day. Reachable by bus, it rewards visitors willing to travel a bit further out for genuine quiet and open countryside.

What people say
"This location on a clear day gives you one of the best views of Rome. It is conveniently located close to the city centre and you can get there by bus (get off at piazzale Clodio, walk 5 minutes and then climb up the hill). We thought this might be too far out from the center. However there is an easy bus (don't take a taxi) taking you to the bottom. Then enjoy a great walk up to the top where you can enjoy a drink or even dinner at the really friendly and reasonably priced cafe restaurant. The views are quite spectacular."
