What to do and see in Rome, Lazio: The Best Gardens
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

My most favorite park in Rome, the view is stunning over the city, also the view to Piazza del Popolo is wonderful; so much banch to have a sit under palms, nice fountains; the Villa Borghese is accessible from this vast expansif Pincio Gardens; plenty of attractions; you can rent bikes or a riscio, operated with a mixture of pedal or an electrical power and that make for a very relaxed tour to see all the park; I find it also very relaxing on a banch, in the sunshine of Rome and see waching people, children playing; ideal also for a nice picnic; you will never feel bored ; or it's great to observe inspection from the police, riding on white horses, with posh elegance.

In the busy and touristic Rome with BIG sites, this place is tiny and different. If you first move towards Gallery Borghese of just the Borghese park, go for this hidden jewel! There is a wonderful calmness around this place, and it is, in beautiful weather, lake a painting or a small glossy picture. It might be a good idea to have an idea of how to row if you would choose to try a rowing boat on the lake (or pond...).

We spent a whole Sunday simply wandering in this large and very beautiful park/gardens. It was well worth all the time we spent. Variety from open woodland to formal or sit and watch the boats on the lake around the Temple of Asclepius. A hidden gem is the Museum of Pietro Canonica, he was a very talented sculptor and much of his originals can be seen here. And then there’s the Zoological Park!

Open to the public, the Rome Italy Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center where you'll see beautiful works of art, have an unforgettable experience with Thorvaldsen’s Christus and statues of the Savior's twelve ancient Apostles, and marvel at the beauty of stained glass art.

If you are near the Porta di Roma area of Rome, this beautiful temple of the LDS church includes the temple itself, a chapel and a beautiful visitor's center with superb statues of Christ and the original twelve apostles along with other instructive displays. The grounds are immaculately maintained with flowers and some ancient olive trees. Well worth a stop!
