Oh dear. We picked the short straw for this one. We love the Borghese Gardens, but have never been to visit the gallery at Villa Borghese, so we alighted at Spagna, as advised, and followed the well-signposted (at first) route from the Metropolitana. However, all changes when you emerge from the lengthy underpass on the far side of Viale del... More

The park is a lovely place to while away a few hours in the busy centre of Rome. You can row a boat on the small lake around the Grecian temple, sit on a bench people watching listening to local musicians.

We went there because we knew it was a park with some sculptures lying around. We found it very calm, and the lake was really beautiful as so were the pieces of sculpture spread by the whole park. Go there for a walk if you want to rest a bit from the frenzy of Rome.

Here, there are many sculptures and paintings of the greats. The ceiling art truly appears 3-D, but astonishingly it is not. The grounds are a park, and it is a bit less touristy, but I would not say totally off the beaten track. Reservations are required, but were free.

It was great wondering around the park. It was our last day of the holiday, so we appreciated just being able to wonder around without every turn being a historical monument. It was lovely and peaceful even walking around with 2 children. A lovely relaxing hour before going to the airport.

We booked online about 3 weeks before we left home which was just as well as it was fully booked for the next 6 days and a lot of disappointed people were turned away. The advantage of having limited numbers was the enhanced experience for the viewer. You could see the works up close and appreciate them. I would definitely... More

We hired a little double bike buggy and cycled round for an hour. It is super pretty and has lots of little cafes etc. There is also a lovely lake to lay by. We didn't go into the museum but the buildings are lovely and it gets you out of the hustle and bustle of the streets for a while.... More

Enjoy a long and relaxing stroll at the Borghese gardens. The views of Rome from the top are stunning. The trees, flowers and fountains are all very beautifully maintained and you'd want to bring a mattress and lie there for a whole day! You would also find a couple of eateries in there. Unfortunately we were running out of time... More
