Can anyone point me in the direction of a good map of Borghese Gardens? I have tried Google, but I am looking for the location of bike rentals, the zoo and the aviary. Is there also a place to rent boats and if so, where? Also, any good restaurants for lunch in the Gardens? Thanks!

You can get information on the zoo at http://www.bioparco.com. There is an English site option. The zoo is in the NE corner of the gardens. I think there are paddle boats on the lake (lago) in the center of the park. Restaurants are rather pricey but are available. Not fine dining, but an OK park experience. There are bike rentals on Viale di Villa Medici, which is in the west part of the park, not far from the Spanish Steps . They'll give you a map, I believe.

Laurel, thanks for the link, but the domain is up for sale, it doesn't work. I finally found the proper link though using your info. It's http://www.bioparco.it/ Looks like it has great info on it. Thanks again!

Sorry about that! Bad American habit entering ".com" all the time.
