Rome | Poetic Moments in Villa Borghese 🌳✨
If you have time in Rome, don't miss Villa Borghese ! Our hotel staff called it their *favorite park*—and they were right! On our last morning, surprise sunshine ☀️ led us to take a taxi to the Fountain of Asclepius entrance . First stop: Esculapio boat rental 🚣♂️ (opens at 10:00, €5/person for 20 mins, cash only ). By 10:30 AM (Sunday), a short line had formed—wait was ~10 mins. *Pro tip*: Arrive early! Rowing past ducks 🦆, turtles 🐢, and the lakeside temple 🏛️ was magical. After boating, we wandered to Fontana dei Pupazzi , lounging on sun-warmed stones by emerald-green spring grass 🌿. A quick pizza 🍕 on a park bench recharged us for the mini-train ride (€4, cash-only, 25 mins): - Stops: Casa del Cinema → Viale Goethe → Borghese Gallery - Bonus: Pincio Hill views 📸! Every corner of Villa Borghese feels like a painting—sculptures, fountains, and temples at every turn. *Slow down and soak it in*! #RomeTravel #VillaBorghese #ItalianParks #RomeTravel #VillaBorghese #ItalianParks
