Description
Venue: Parco Villa Borghese When: Daily
Created by Cardinal Scipione Borghese in the 1600s and bought by the city of Rome at the turn of the century, Villa Borghese is one of Europe's most elegant parks.
Featuring incredible views over the Eternal city and a vast green space for relaxation and outdoor activities, the park is a favourite among families and nature lovers.
