View of St. Peters Basilika from Ponte Umberto I. Stand at the right spot to see the road leading into Vatican City.
The spot is great for sunset photography because you are looking to the west.

Photography Tips

Take the bridge down to the river shore to get excellent pictures. Can also incorporate some arcs from bridges into the photographs.

This is the view from Ponte Umberto I.
In my picture, you must walk down the stairs that go to the riverside to shoot the Basilic in between the trees.

For sunset pictures get there early. Popular spots for photographers.
Having a tripod with you will help greatly to capture a nice photo during sunset or blue hour. It will also help you to soften the water of River Tiber and give all the details of the skyline a lot more attention.
Have at least a 50mm lens. I took mine with a focal length of 62mm.

The best way to get here is probably by public transportation, especially because a walk along the river is a nice activity anyway.

IMO the view is better if you go down next to the river, not from the bridge itself. Check my image.

I believe the location is wrong. I think is from Ponte umberto I
