Villa Borghese, Rome

Explore the Cities and Towns of Rome

Overview

The 'Villa Borghese' in Rome, Italy is an enormous park filled with gorgeous gardens, temples, statues and art collection, considered one of the most important in Italy and Europe.

Visiting these grounds, is something far too few visitors to Rome ever get to experience and it is such a shame, considering visiting the park is one of the greatest free sites for visitors to Rome to visit. Only the gallery has an admission cost, where guided tours area allowed, however wandering through the park's grounds is a totally free experience much like Central Park in New York or other city parks, so we recommend taking the afternoon or morning to simply wander through at a leisurely pace.

The Villa Borghese is the third largest public park in Rome (80 hectares or 197.7 acres) after the ones of the Villa Doria Pamphili and Villa Ada, which are equally outanding and beautiful to discover in their own right, but with only a few days in Rome, we highly recommend exploring the Villa Borghese park which is just behind Piazza Del Popolo, close to the Spanish Steps and other main attractions in Rome, which may be closer to where you may be staying.

Inside the gardens, you will find a large lake, where at the middle of it there is an 18th century "Temple of Aesculapius" where lovers, children, families come to enjoy a quick row-boat around it.

Strolling through the gardens, enjoying the wonderful gallery and just being at peace with the wonderful Mediterranean nature and green space is a wonderful way to really experience Roman life.

We can take you here and guide you through it, though you don't really need a guide... just to wander and get lost!

Italy Vacation Specialists can arrange many special activities for you including picnics, wonderful adventures for children and much more!

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists. Being a travel agent and in the business, I know how complicated organizing travel arrangements can be in Italy and the IVS team took a huge burden off of me! I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]
