Gardens of Augustus

An evocative route, a stone staircase with a winding but fascinating itinerary

The beautiful Giardini di Augusto were born out of German industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp’s love for the island. An evocative route, a stone staircase with a winding but fascinating itinerary. Once you reach the belvedere, you will find yourself in a green oasis with a breathtaking panorama. Flower-filled terraces with views of Marina Piccola, the hairpin bends of Via Krupp and the Faraglioni will provide the backdrop for the classic souvenir photo that travellers love to take from the Gardens of Augustus.
