Hi everyone,
I will be in Rome for 5 nights at the end of May - early June. I have my sightseeing schedule almost complete but would like suggestions of public gardens (or particularly green piazzas) around the city for breaks during the days or early evenings. I'm already scheduled to visit the Galleria Borghese, so will explore the Villa Borghese Gardens.
I'll be staying in Trastevere, so any gardens on that side of the river would be great, too.
Thanks in advance!
Sharon
Google Maps will show you gardens. in the TV n'hood, you'll find the Orto Botanico, which is worth it if you're into gardens. Entrance here: https://goo.gl/maps/mTvLS6qFE7G2
There is a rose garden on the Aventine Hill, and further up a small park with great views of Roma.
Oooh, yes! The rose garden on the Aventine - Roseto Comunale - will be in bloom, and you'll get an interesting eyeful of the Palatine from there. The other garden that Zoe mentioned - Giardino Degli Aranci - is further up the hill, next to lovely old Santa Sabina (a must do!!!) and offers another terrific view of Rome.
I am going to Rome soon and wanted to ask a similar question so thank you to all those posting here and Sharon for posting it before I could!
Michael, Zoe, Kathy, Thanks for the suggestions. I will look for those and add them to my list!
greenann390 - glad to see I'm not the only one interested!
