Villa Borghese Gardens (Area Cani)

One of Rome’s signature parks with elegant paths, ponds and lawns, plus multiple signed ‘Area Cani’ spaces where dogs can safely run. The Pincio terrace edges the park with sweeping sunset views over Piazza del Popolo, turning everyday walks into photo moments. Expect wide paths and mixed terrain that’s kind to paws, with shade pockets and benches for water breaks. Go early or at golden hour in summer to avoid heat; bring a collapsible bowl and extra bags. Leash rules vary by area—check signage at each entrance and respect protected habitats.
