Visit the Bioparco di Roma, Rome’s zoo in Villa Borghese

Hello my loves, as you might have noticed, it is getting hot in Rome, and for me that means I want to be outside all the time, since my room heats up like a sauna. Rome has some wonderful parks where you can go for a picnic or a walk, but last week I went on a new adventure and visited the zoo in Rome. The zoo, or Bioparco di Roma, is located in Villa Borghese, and in the future I will dedicate an entire article to Villa Borghese and everything you can do there. For this article, however, I will tell you all about the Bioparco di Roma, what it is, what to see, how to get there, and whether it is worth visiting.

To me, this creative neighborhood is a great place to be if you want to get inspired or, of course, productive. In this article, I will tell you all about my three favourite spots for remote work, studying, or reading in Pigneto.

Last week, though, I visited a monument close to the Colosseum that I completely fell in love with, so it only makes sense to share it on my blog. I am talking about the Domus Aurea in Rome, or “Golden House”, built by Emperor Nero. This archaeological site was completely buried, and visiting this underground palace is truly a unique experience.
