What to Do in Villa Borghese: 10 Activities in Rome's Most Beautiful Park
In the past, whenever I visited Rome as a tourist rather than as someone who lives here, I always skipped Villa Borghese, and looking back, I think this was a huge mistake. Villa Borghese, as I have mentioned before on my blog, is one of the most beautiful parks in Rome, and you can easily spend 1–3 hours here, or even more.
It is very centrally located and easily accessible from the centre of Rome. Besides that, entering the park is completely free. In this blog post, I will tell you all about what to do in Villa Borghese, as this park has many activities to offer.
Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or small children, Villa Borghese has something for everyone and offers the perfect green escape from the crowds of Rome.
Self-Guided Walking Tour of Rome (2-Hour Route)
As an introverted, self-proclaimed grandma, the city centre of Rome can sometimes feel a little bit crowded.

If you want to experience the centre of Rome while still enjoying moments of peace and quiet, I have the perfect solution for you! Walking is one of my favourite free things to do in Rome, and during my first year as an international student, I crafted the perfect 2-hour tour. This self-guided route will lead you through stunning monuments and hidden gems, and—spoiler alert—it has a spectacular view of the city!
