Where is it located?
Among the things to do in the capital is definitely the Jasmine Walk. Not everyone knows it, but it is a very romantic path to discover with a beautiful view of Rome. It is so called because there are jasmine trees along the path that beautify the street with their fragrant flowers in summer. In addition, the path overlooks the ancient Jasmine Valley that used to reach as far as the Janiculum Hill.
The promenade was created after the removal of one of the two tracks of the Vatican Railroad during the Jubilee of 2000. The creation of the Vatican City State Railway was due to the Lateran Treaty, signed on February 11, 1929 between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy. The Vatican railway line is just over a kilometer long. Even today, the train from the old station makes it possible to explore the Papal villas.
The 2025 redevelopment
The promenade was redeveloped in the spring and today shines like never before. It is a short path that allows you to admire Rome from above and why not, take a nice walk at sunset, perhaps in pleasant company.
To take the walk, the entrance is at St. Peter’s Station, just walk alongside platform 1 and turn right. At the station you will find signs for the Jasmine Walk. You can also enter from Via Aurelia, near the Aurelia ramp.
Together with the beautiful Via Piccolomini, which wows the eye, it is one of the most picturesque streets in Rome.
The Eternal City is full of hidden little places to discover to admire the splendor of art and nature. For this, don’t miss a visit to the Jasmine Walk. A flower that smells sweet and is highly valued in aromatherapy.
