My husband and I spent a lazy Sunday strolling around the park, people watching from the benches and just enjoying the beautiful day. We also spent some time watching the dogs play in the designated dog park area since we were missing our own...The park is HUGE so bring your walking shoes! More

When we visited, we noticed that there's not a lot of greeneries in Rome. So it was really nice to visit Villa Borghese. We didn't get to the Galleria as our little kids wouldn't be interested. But we hang out in the park. We rented a bike and went around the compound. Sat & ate on the grass while kids... More

I stayed near here and walked through the park every day. It is lovely. Rome is very busy and noisy although I do love it. Walking through the gardens gets you away from the traffic fumes which I struggled with. More

We enjoyed visiting the museum. Please note they remove your handbag and check it in. Next time I would take a tour guide as it would be more beneficial to understanding the history. More
