Off The Beaten Path: Two Peaceful Gardens in the Middle of Rome

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

Spring has sprung (and we're a little late) but in that season of renewal (spring and our brand-new name and cover art) we thought we'd look at some little-known parks in Rome that are right in the middle of everything, but hidden. We've often talked about how difficult it can feel to find green space or a place to relax in Rome's historic center. In this episode, we tell you about two gardens near the Trevi Fountain that overlook the crowds: the gardens of the Palazzo Quirinale and Villa Aldobrandini. You can learn more about Palazzo Quirinale and buy tickets here: palazzo.quirinale.itThe Villa Aldobrandini is a free park open from 7:00am to sunset. You can join our Patreon for free!
