When planning out your Rome itinerary, you have to make sure Villa Borghese is on it. Whether you’re into sculptures, beautiful gardens, or museums, there’s something for everyone and for the whole family!
Why Villa Borghese Should Be On Your Rome Itinerary!

If you’re in the midst of planning your trip to Rome and you haven’t come across Villa Borghese yet, then let me be the first one to accept your many thanks of introducing to you a place you’re going to love! 😉

Essentially, Villa Borghese is a landscape garden. And it’s huge. It’s the third largest park in Rome. But because it’s so big, it has a lot to offer. The grounds itself are beautiful, giving me total Parisian vibes. Not like you need Paris vibes in Rome, but if you love Paris like me, then it’s a bonus.


Couples can rent a boat and have a very romantic moment on the water. Just ignore the fact that 10 other people are doing the same thing 😉 Jk, it’s a beautiful setting though!

Everyone can appreciate beautiful architecture, details, and sculptures, which this place has no shortage of.



There’s a gorgeous art gallery for the adults and a zoo for the kiddos! Or the adults too, let’s be real 😉

Because it’s so big, they offer many different ways to get around. As Titus and I were walking around dying in excellent shape, we saw tourists using these motorized bike things to get around and though usually, I’m against cheesy touristy things like that, Titus and I both agreed that if we saw those right away, knowing how big this place was, we would have rented them haha!
I don’t know how much they cost, but because the place is so huge and spread out, it’d be worth saving your energy to walk around the things you really want to see!
And because there’s just so much beauty you don’t want to miss out on!

I just love your photos of the places you visit. So artistically done and I love how you play with the lighting conditions. Your black and white and sepia shots are fantastic!
Thank you so much! It’s fun to experiment with photography!
Nnniiiccceeeeee…..the Villa looks really great. Do you happen to know when it was built?
I looked it up- in 1605, a Cardinal started turning this former vineyard into gardens. In 1903 they were given to the public. Hope that helped!
I haven’t been to Villa Borghese but it looks so pretty! I should really visit this place soon.
I definitely think you should!
These are some great pictures and inspire me to visit Villa Borghese as well. It is nice to get way from the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit and just immerse yourself in the nature and the architecture.
I definitely agree with you!
This is one of the only places we didn’t get to go when we visited. I will definitely be going again but this will be on the list.
Yes, I hope you can make it here next time!
Gorgeous photos! It all looks so serene while being so architecturally interesting and historic. I am counting the days to visit Italy!
That’s a good way to describe it!
Wow – this looks like an amazing place to visit! I would love to see this someday.
I think you’d love it!
This looks so stunning! Rome is on my travel bucket list!
Rightfully so! 🙂
You took some great shots in Rome! Love seeing all the places and your photos are beautiful!
Thank you! I loved taking photos there!
“Rome, thou art a whole world, it is true, and yet without love this
World would not be the world, Rome would cease to be Rome…”
Rome is a fantastic place and I hope to be back!
