Very large gardens. You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring them or rent a bike to ride around. The gallery also houses some interesting artefacts. Worth a visit, especially to escape the crowds in Rome.

We loved it here! After the hustle and bustle and busyness of the city it was nice to find some peace and quiet amongst art and nature. Be prepared, you have to walk up some steps to get up there but it is a stop on the Big Bus tours and I’m sure other buses stop off there. Lots of parakeets and other birds to see and I was quite happy in the little cafe trying to photograph them. It’s quite a big site and you can hire bikes to have a look about but it’s quite nice to have a walkabout and explore and lots of trees so plenty of shade. Beautiful in Autumn! The gallery here sells out quickly so if you want to go in, pre book in advance.

The Borghese Gallery wisely requires a reservation which limits the number of people entering at any time. This you never feel crowded or uncomfortable. The Villa with its painted ceilings and marble decor is fabulous but it is filled with great art also. Roman sculpture but also Bernini, Caravaggio, Titian, and now there is a marvelous exhibit of work done by Rubens during his time in Italy. We had a bite in their lovely cafe. Also purchased the English audio guide which I recommend. Great museum!

Actually visited 2013 with 4 children 7 - 16. Absolutely fabulous, compact mansion. Everything from ceiling to floor is art, and the rooms are filled with classic paintings and sculptures. A treasure trove for the artist and art historian.

The Villa Borghese was splendid ! Me and my friends went there a few times during our holidays, to relax, read a book on a bench drained by the sun and we even used the miniboats on the lake which was a really fun and relaxed activity. However, among all of those great things, we unfortunalety havn't been able to visit the Gallery Borghese ! There was too many people and we should have booked the visit weeks ago. So, if you want an advice : don't hesiate to book your tickets in advance !

This park was very nice the views were incredible, the park itself was amazing. The park offers a lot to do with a Zoo, food, gallery’s small attractions, lakes and boats Me and my partner spent hours here and still only explored half of the park. I would highly recommend hiring some form of transport which the part offers Caddies, bikes, manual carts etc. this way you can see everything 1 must do is the boat rides around the lake this is really peaceful and a good experience to have. It was 5 Euros per person for 20minutes which is fairly priced. The queue can get big but I would still recommend doing this. It’s very good to do with a partner and/or family. Overall we loved our time at this park and would happily go again. Next time we would hire transport to get around more as the park is very big and has a lot to do.

Amazing park and area to get away from all the noise and crowds in Rome. Beautiful with a lovely small lake where you can take a boat out. Really close to many attractions in central Rome.

A truly lovely spot in the Rome. Whilst it is still busy, it feels significantly less so than the rest of the city because it is such a vast area. You can have a peaceful walk around and see lots of nature. Definitely recommend going here!

Villa Borghese is the Rome equivalent of Central Park in NYC - a green space in the midst of a busy city. There is a zoo, museums, and boat rides on a small lake. If you don't feel like walking, you rent vehicles but we just walked around and did not pay to visit any of the sites. There are limited options for food so you may want to bring a picnic lunch. We visited on a Sunday afternoon when there were many Roman families enjoying a day in the park.

Beautiful park and a lovely little lake with swimming terrapins. A nice place to get away from the craziness of the city. I sat for an hour or so reading my book which was lovely. Lots of the park is currently fenced off so you can't access it. I'm not sure why, maybe Jubilee related?
