　　Designed and laid out in the late 18th century, this leafy area is centred on a small, romantic lake where you can hire a rowing boat. The highlight, other than the serene atmosphere, is the Tempietto di Esculapio, a copy of a Roman temple sited on the lake's artificial islet.

Must-see attractions
St Peter's Basilica
Rome
　　Even in a city of outstanding churches like Rome, St Peter’s is special. Everything about the Vatican’s showpiece basilica is astonishing, from the sweeping piazza that announces it to its grandiose facade and lavish interior. 　　Chief among its many treasures are two of Michelangelo’s most celebrated works: his Pietà sculpture...
Villa Borghese
Rome
　　Locals, lovers, tourists, joggers – no one can resist the lure of Rome's most celebrated park. Originally the 17th-century estate of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it covers about 80 hectares of wooded glades, gardens and grassy banks. Among its attractions are the landscaped Giardino del Lago, Piazza di Siena, a dusty...
Capitoline Museums
Rome
　　Dating from 1471, the Capitoline Museums are the world's oldest public museums. Their collection of classical sculpture is one of Italy's finest, boasting works such as the iconic Lupa Capitolina (Capitoline Wolf), a life-size bronze of a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, and the Galata morente (Dying Gaul), a moving...
Palatino
Rome
　　An atmospheric area of towering pine trees, majestic ruins and memorable views, the Palatino (Palatine Hill) is the birthplace of Rome. This is where Romulus supposedly founded the city and where ancient Rome’s emperors lived in unabashed luxury. 　　Archaeological excavations have unearthed evidence of Iron Age settlements on the hill...
Circo Massimo
Rome
　　Now a huge basin of dusty grass, Circo Massimo was ancient Rome’s largest chariot racetrack, a 250,000-seater capable of holding up to a quarter of the city’s population. The 600m track circled a wooden dividing island with ornate lap indicators and Egyptian obelisks. 　　At its southern end, a small segment...
Piazza Navona
Rome
　　Why you should goWith its showy fountains, baroque palazzi and colorful cast of street artists, hawkers and tourists, Piazza Navona is central Rome’s elegant showcase square. Built over the 1st-century Stadio di Domiziano, it was paved over in the 15th century and for almost 300 years hosted the city's main...
Museo e Galleria Borghese
Rome
　　If you only have time for one art gallery in Rome, make it this one. Housing what's often referred to as the queen of all private art collections, it boasts paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, plus sensational sculptures by Bernini. Highlights abound, but look for Bernini's Ratto di Proserpina...
Pantheon
Rome
　　A striking 2000-year-old temple built to honor the seven planetary deities and later transformed into a church, the Pantheon is the best preserved of Rome’s ancient monuments and one of the most influential buildings in the Western world. 　　Emperor Hadrian commissioned this feat of engineering to be erected on the...
Roman Forum
Rome
　　An impressive – if rather confusing – spread of ruins, the Roman Forum was ancient Rome's showpiece center, a grandiose district of temples, basilicas and vibrant public spaces. It can be hard to picture this nowadays but if you can get your imagination going, there’s something truly magical about walking...
Colosseum
Rome
　　An electrifying, spine-tingling sight, the Colosseum is the most thrilling of Rome's ancient monuments. It was here that gladiators met in fierce combat and condemned prisoners fought off wild beasts in front of baying, bloodthirsty crowds. 　　Two thousand years on and the 50,000-seat stadium is one of Italy's top attractions,...
Vatican Museums
Rome
　　Home to the Sistine Chapel and mile after mile of priceless masterpieces, the Vatican Museums (Musei Vaticani) are one of the world’s largest, busiest and most spectacular museum complexes. 　　The vast institution, made up of 26 museums and 7km (4.3 miles) of halls and galleries, houses the art and antiquities...
Domus Aurea
Rome
　　Nero had his Domus Aurea constructed after the fire of AD 64 (which he is rumoured to have started to clear the area). Named after the gold that lined its facade and interiors, it was a huge complex covering almost one third of the city. Making some use of video...
