Directions

Villa Borghese is Rome's most famous landscaped park, a green sweep of gardens, fountains and umbrella pines above the historic center that offers a welcome break from the crowds and heat. You can rent a rowboat on the little temple lake, hire bikes, and reach the Pincio terrace for a classic sunset view over Piazza del Popolo. The grounds also hold the Borghese Gallery and the Etruscan museum, which require their own separate tickets.
