A Roman point of view:
Living in Rome
Villa Borghese
Villa Borghese is the largest park in Rome (6km) and the most panoramic. Inside Villa Borghese, there are monuments and historic buildings, including a Greek temple bathed by a boating lake; a racecourse for important city festivals;
a medieval castle (the Fortezzuola), which hosts the Canonica Museum and the Zoo (Bioparco), one of the most important zoological gardens in Italy.
Villa Borghese is among the favorite destinations of the Romans for walks in the shade of pine trees or for evening jogging sessions. Here you can also enjoy a breathtaking view of the city centre. From the adjacent Pincio Terrace,
it is possible to enjoy suggestive sunsets on the dome of San Pietro.
Via Veneto
Via Veneto, which stretches from Piazza Barberini to Porta Pinciana, is iconic for its representation in Federico Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita”. It was designed at the end of the 19th century and has always been very popular among artists, actors and football players due to its bars, clubs, luxury hotels and the most renowned restaurants in the centre of Rome.
Strolling along Via Veneto will take you back in time to the cinematic atmospheres of the mid 900s, starting from Piazza Barberini up to Villa Borghese and, finally, home.
