Where Villa Medici Is Located

Villa Medici sits on the Pincio hill, at the top of the Piazza di Spagna staircase, beside the church of Trinità dei Monti (address: Viale della Trinità dei Monti). It's a panoramic, central spot, but elevated above Piazza di Spagna: you reach it either by climbing the steps or from the Pincio and Villa Borghese side.

By Metro and on Foot

The most common option is Metro Line A:

Alternatively, arrive from above, from the Pincio and Villa Borghese side, with a scenic walk. Several bus lines serve the nearby areas (Tridente, Via Veneto).

By Car and Private Driver (NCC)

The Tridente and Trinità dei Monti area is largely ZTL (limited-traffic zone), with very difficult parking. Climbing the staircase on foot is striking, but awkward with luggage, strollers, or for anyone with mobility issues. With a private driver (NCC) you arrive comfortably right below Villa Medici, avoiding parking headaches and ZTL gates, ideal if you want to pair the visit with other stops.
