Where to Relax in Rome City Center: 6 Green Spaces to Escape the Crowds
Since the main goal of my blog is to help people, my inspiration often comes from questions I get asked. When someone asked me, “Where can I relax in and around the city center of Rome?”, I knew I had to write an article about it.
It just so happens that I am someone who needs quite a lot of me time, away from the crowds of Rome. Over time, I have collected places where you can go to unwind and relax, not too far from Rome's famous sights, but quiet and peaceful enough to take a little break. If you are looking to relax after a busy day of sightseeing, I have just the six spots for you!

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.
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.
Top 5 Most Beautiful Viewpoints in Rome
I don’t think I’ve ever written a travel guide without mentioning that I love a good viewpoint. I just love the idea of working hard for something—climbing a lot of stairs or hiking a steep mountain—and then being rewarded with a stunning view you can’t get anywhere else. It’s always the best place to read, eat a self-brought squished sandwich, or marvel at how romantic it all is (even if you’re single like me lol).
As you might know by now, Rome is my favourite place on earth, and I wanted to combine my two loves in this blog post. In this article, I’ll share my top 5 most beautiful viewpoints in Rome. I have beautiful memories of some of them, and I hope they’ll come to mean as much to you as they do to me.
