In their own words: “The area I'm walking right now is called Villa Borghese, and this is actually a park. It's like the Central Park of Rome. Beautiful place to walk around, ride some bikes, and just chill. Originally built and created in the 1600s by Cardinal Borghese, the nephew of Pope Paul, the park was originally a private vineyard and luxury estate before becoming a public park. Inside you'll find the Galleria Borghese, home to the masterpiece by Caravaggio, Bernini, and Raphael.”

Enjoy a free escape in Rome's "Central Park," perfect for picnics, bike rentals, or a relaxing paddle on the lake.

In their own words: “Villa Borghese is basically Rome's very own version of Central Park. And best of all, it's completely free with treelined paths, sparkling fountains, and wide open lawns where you can picnic like a local.”

Escape the city bustle in Rome's largest park, offering tranquil gardens, walking paths, and free entry for a peaceful retreat.

In their own words: “So these are the grounds of Villa Borghese. This is actually the largest park in all of Rome, and it's considered the green lung of the city walking around here. You would never say that we're actually only a few steps away from the super busy Piazza. These gardens are totally free to enter. And it is super tranquil. Super peaceful, a totally different vibe. I absolutely love it here.”
