Villa Borghese

LE poumon vert de la ville !
LE plan «chill & bronzette» des jours de chaleur
LE plan running des locaux
LE plan fraîcheur les jours de canicule
Bref la Villa Borghese, c’est vraiment canon. Un peu le tete d’or de Rome pour les lyonnais qui savent à quoi le comparer. Ici, des bâtisses à l’intérieur du parc, quelques vestiges de l’antiquité avec des colonnes ça et là.
Des fleurs de partout, des grands et énormes arbres comme on en trouve que dans le Sud. Des citronniers ! Des grands et beaux citronniers présents un peu partout. Des pistes pour faire du running ou louer des vélos.
Des vendeurs ambulants partout avec des bonnes glaces ou des boissons fraîches.
Et puis côté Piazza del Popolo, une vue imprenable sur cette place ! J’ai aimé, je reviendrai ! :)

Beautiful park with beautiful views of the city.
I ran at this park almost everyday for the six weeks I was here and enjoyed every second of it (except for that one time when I realized the white spot on my shirt wasn’t gelato, but bird excrement)
The park is filled with locals as well as tourists and the Spanish Steps are only 10 minutes away if you walk from Piazza del Popolo. I know the park has a zoo, but I’ve seen enough giraffes, lions, and monkeys in the Bronx. It’s worth considering if you’re planning a trip with family.
The park also offers 4 – 6 person four-​wheel bikes, which I highly recommend because it created some very fun memories for me and my friends.

I went here for a run on the recommendation of a friend. Ran the outskirts at a pace of about 4 MPH, stopping to take photos at my leisure. I went around 3 p.m. on a Thursday.
I’d like to go back and check out the zoo, the modern art museum and row a boat across the tiny lake (Lord, please send me a boyfriend).
The run was great. Really beautiful, lots of great architecture and I didn’t have to slow down for meandering pedestrians.
There was also an outdoor movie theatre.
All in all, it seems like a great place with tons of culture and endless things to do. Next time I’m in town, I’ll bring a blanket, a picnic and sit on the grass (even if I have to bring an imaginary boyfriend).
What stops me from giving it five stars is that it’s not well mapped and none of the signs are in English. I know it’s Italy, but this is a tourist attraction and it would make it more convenient.

La zone de verdure idéale pour se rafraîchir après avoir déambulé des heures dans les rues de Rome.
Un décor naturel, pittoresque, poétique et nostalgique avec ses ruinés reconstituées présentes un peu partout.
La Villa Borghese est l’endroit idéal pour marcher au calme et à l’ombré, s’allonger dans l’herbe ou faire une promenade romantique.
La Villa propose également d’excellents musées hébergés dans de splendides hôtels particuliers italiens.
Nous avons passé un excellent moment dans ce parc et garderons un des meilleurs souvenirs de notre séjour. En effet, nous avons finalement succombé et loué une voiturette à pédale 4 places: plus touriste, on né fait pas !
Mais qu’est-ce que nous avons ri à faire des pointes de vitesse dans les descentes du parc, des dérapages. Nous nous sommes même retrouvés hors de l’enceinte de la Villa sans le savoir (lorsqu’on pédale entre les bus, le tramway et les voitures, on se dit qu’il y a peut être un souci ;).
À l’extrémité du jardin, au bord de la Villa Médicis, vous pourrez admirer un des plus beaux points de vue sur Rome: splendide.
A né surtout pas rater pour votre prochaine WE romain !

3 stars for me only because I wasn’t too impressed with the outside of Villa Borghese. We never went inside the gallery or anything, so I’m basing my 3 star opinion on what I saw at the outside of Villa Borghese. It wasn’t that great. A few areas were pretty, but most of it was «meh».

When in Rome in the ViaVeneto area this should be a must. Especially if weather is gorgeous. We visited in February and had the park and surroundings to ourselves. Like Central Park but without the vendors and crowds. Great place for photos. Too.

Rome est aussi une ville verte !
Ce grand parc permet de grandes balades et d’accéder à un zoo, à une Villa Médicis et à d’autres lieux d’expositions/musées (Galerie nationale d’art contemporain, musée national étrusque.).
C’est grand, c’est joli et il y a pleins de petits coins sympas.
J”ai un gros coup de cœur pour le temple d’Esculape, entouré d“un petit lac où se baignent canards et cygnes. Romantique à souhait !
Ça vaut le coup d’œil et j’imagine que beaucoup d’italiens s’y ruent en été pour profiter de l’ombré des arbres, des grandes pelouses et des multiples glaciers !
Si vous êtes d’humeur sportive, il y a plusieurs endroits où on peut louer des vélos, buggy et autres Segway (mais ce n’est pas très pratique car vous devez les rendre à la station où vous les avez loués).

Third largest park in Rome and the central one. You can rent a bike or a boat for 3 – 4 euro/​hour. Also, there are many museums such as Borghese or Modern Art. There’s also a theatre, which is the reproduction of Globe Theatre in London. I personally liked the statues of all famous poets and intellectuals and also watching the sunset from the Pincio Terrace with amazing view of the city domes.

Beautiful but a little out of the way.
We really enjoyed Villa Borghese but not sure it’s a must see while in Rome. We bought metro passes so it made it easy for us to jump on the train and explore surrounding areas. The entrance is about a 5 minute walk from the train but the surrounding area is huge. Lots of neat statues as well as gardens and museums to explore as well for additional fees. There are plenty of carts to purchase food and drinks from as well. We spent about 2 hours walking around the area and that was perfect. It’s not a must see but if you have time definitely check it out.

Very beautiful but not a must see. Only went because the museum in the park came with the Roma Pass. Just a tip, make sure you book a time slot at the museum in advanced! But the Villa is pretty and very soothing to just walk around for a nice Sunday afternoon stroll.

I visited the museum early on a Saturday morning, then spent a few hours visiting the park. It’s absolutely beautiful and I frequently came upon lovely sculptures that I didn’t even know would be where they were. The park is probably the only place next to Palatine, where you experience almost complete silence. It’s a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle that you will encounter in the Centro Storico — I LOVED it. If, like me, you’re also a fan of nature in general, then you will find that this place is an oasis in the middle of Rome. It’s perfect if you want to go for a run, walk your dog or simply have a little picnic, post-​museum. There are benches scattered throughout the park where you can get a much-​needed break from the scorching sun, and these are a great place to find locals. Make sure to check out the Goethe monument — it’s quite nice!
I do suggest trying to get a map of the park because it’s easy to get lost. I never did find my way to Piazza del Popolo from there, even though on the previous day, I found the entrance to the park from the Piazza!

The view from our hotel room was of this park, so we spent a fair amount of time wandering it’s grounds.
It is everything the hype leads you to believe and was one place in a Rome where we did not see street vendors constantly.
It is serene, beautiful with fountains scattered throughout (although many were not functioning when we were here)
An excellent place to unwind, picnic or marvel at the trees… not to be missed

This is the perfect place for people with children. Here you can let them play in the playgrounds, run around, and rent 2 – 4 person tandem bikes. We liked it here so much that we will return again to rent the bikes later this week. We went to the Gallery Borghese, which was an awesome experience also.
This place is beautiful and very large that tourists are not all concentrated in one spot making it a horrible experience like the Spanish Steps. I wish we had a park like this in D.C., but we don’t so we rarely go to parks back home. If parks like this existed with numerous trails, tandem bike rentals, and food trucks, then more people would be out and about than always indoors in the states.
Along with access to 2 museums and a zoo, there are fountains, and truly a lot to explore. Finally, a 5 star experience. Was getting desperate in Rome after all the one to two star places.

Centra Park, Balboa Park, Golden Gate Park… and in Rome there’s Villa Borghese.
Its huge, beautiful, free, and worth a stroll through (if its not too hot) before or after a visit to the Borghese Museum.

What a beautiful park and the largest in Rome. I strolled through the entire park but you can also rent bikes, Sega or even a golf cart.
On the far end I enjoyed beautiful views of Rome and if you’re into art– the Borghese gallery is located here. There are various food and beverage stands located here or bring a picnic for a relaxing day under massive trees.

Beautiful art, sculptures and gardens!

My favorite park in Roma and probably the only park I remember going to during my short stay.
My fiends and I came here all the time to have picnics. Going up Villa Borghese was beautiful! The view was breathtaking!

My fave spot in the city to get away from the chaos. the park is huge and has lots to see. The Pincio above Piazza del Popolo offers beautiful views of the city — very romantic! The pond with the Tempio di Esculapio is so peaceful. La Galleria Borghese has must-​see art exhibits, sculptures, and even the building itself is gorgeous. At the opposite end, you can also access the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna. These gardens are beautiful both in the summer and winter. The one thing I still have yet to do is pack a picnic and cover it by bike or rent that bike/​carriage thing!

Lovely. Just lovely. This park was my favorite place in Rome. It’s a really massive park, well kept, and just filled with so many things to do. There’s museums, galleries, touristy contraptions that allow you to get around the park in a speedier fashion, and of course loads of space to just sit, relax, and enjoy life in Rome. One of my favorite things to do was dipping my feet in one of the fountains. It was a beautiful fountain, and I don’t know if you’re really allowed to do that, but there were two little girls pretty much swimming it it, so I figured I could just join in, and it was wonderful. It was hot sunny day, and I got to dip in my fit in a beautiful fountain in the middle of the park. And then I was able to enjoy a sandwich, with ingredients picked up from a local supermarket, in the grassy areas under some tall trees. And it was probably one of the best sandwich experiences of my life.

Un vrai poumon
Loin des bruits et de la pollution, ce parc n’est pas utile mais obligatoire. On peut se promener mais aussi faire du vélo, de la montgolfière, de la barque ou bein assister à une pièce de théâtre. Il y a un zoo et les musées.

A faire absolument
Prenez ce jardin par la place del Popollo… Ce parc est immense et magnifique, il propose un lac, des fontaines, des musées (dont le plus connu la Galleria Borghese… cette galerie est magnifique, sublime, il faut la visiter, c’est indispensable ! Une petite balade dans ce parc et ses musées, c’est vraiment agréable, cela permet de se reposer au pied d’un arbre, de mettre ses pieds dans les fontaines (!) et d’être au calme (et non envahi par le bruit incessant des scooters !). Donc c’est une visite incontournable.

Endroit de verdure magnifique au milieu de la ville !
La villa Borghese est une villa certes mais c’est également une grande étendue de verdure et de fraîcheur. On peut s’y rendre à pied ou a vélo et est situé dans le nord du centre de Rome. Avec les chaleurs de l’été il est très agréable de se retrouver la bas pour respirer un peu et y manger y est très agréable et la sieste y est presque obligatoire ! C’est immense et il faut prendre garde à né pas se perdre !

Vaste
Si vous aimez marcher allez dans ce parc près de la Place del Popolo (place du peuple). Ce parc est immense mais très beau et rempli de jets d’eau, statues et fontaines. Y figure également la fameuse Villa Borghèse (très beau musée) célèbre par les films. Joli moment de plénitude et de nature que ce parc. A faire.

S’il né faut visiter qu’un musée à Rome…
C’est une véritable splendeur. Il est difficile de décrire cette surabondance d’oeuvre. Ici tout est art, les plafonds, les sculptures, les murs, les portes, les jardins… Le regard né sait pas où se poser. Les sculptures de Canova et surtout du Bernin sont à couper le soufflé, les tableaux de carravagio, Raphael, Rubbens… Ce n’est pas un musée où sont exposées des oeuvres, mais plutot un écrin conçu autour des oeuvres pour les mettre en valeur. Lorsque vous aurez bravé l’organisation Kafkaienne des réservations et de la visite, vous serez forcément sous le charme.

Poblablement le plus beau musée de Rome
La villa Borghese est située dans un magnifique écrin de verdure. Une fois à l’intérieur, le visiteur né sait plus ou regarder, entre les oeuvres d’art de Caravage et des salles plus belles les unes que les autres, on regrette de n’avoir qu’une paire d’yeux, tant on trouve à admirer en ce lieu mythique.

La splendeur de Rome
Après 14 ans de travaux, elle a retrouvé tout son éclat et on peut de nouveau admirer les sculptures de Canova. Il est nécessaire de réserver pour entrer. Le parc est merveilleux et très romantique avec ses statues dans chaque allée et son charmant petit lac.
