At the center is situated an Egyptian obelisk (L’Obelisco Flaminio) from the time of the great Pharaoh Ramses II. This Obelisk is the oldest and the second highest in Rome. Discover also the impressive twin churches of St. Mary of Montessanto and Santa Maria (Santa Maria diMontesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli).
Terrazza del Pincio
Don’t miss to climb up to the terrace. It is located near the Villa Borghese Park, where you will again find an incredible view of Rome.
Villa Borghese
Enjoy the gardens of Villa Borghese, where in hot summer days, many tourists find coolness, tranquility and privacy from the otherwise noisy and unspoiled city. You will be impressed how many people use the park for sports.
Gallery Borghese is an art gallery in Rome, Italy, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana. You need to buy tickets in order to book an hour for the visit.
Hot tip: A maximum of 360 people are admitted at a time for two-hour visits according to the following schedule:
9 to 11 a.m. / 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. / 1 to 3 p.m. / 3 to 5 p.m. / 5 to 7 p.m.
If you decide not visiting the gallery, you can walk around the beautiful gardens. There is a pond (Giardino del Lago) with a famous water clock dating back to 1867). Only 450m to the left of the villa (if you’re facing it) is the Zoo.
The end of this day was crowned with tired legs and many wonderful emotions sealed on my camera. Happy and tired we finished our desired trip to Rome for 4 days.
I hope the articles were interesting and useful at least a bit. And if you’ve decided to visit Rome, don’t hesitate!
