Top Parks in Italy

If you want some good Instagram shots, head to the Pincian Hill around sunset. The views of Rome are breathtaking, and the light is just perfect for photos!

If you can, visit around 8 am to enjoy the quiet before the crowds roll in. It’s the perfect time to take beautiful photos without people everywhere.

Check out the little petting zoo near the castle. It's not huge but totally cute and my kids loved it! It was a nice surprise.

Be ready for some steep climbs! I thought I'd be fine, but the paths can challenge your fitness level. Hydrate and take breaks when you need to!

Plan to spend a good few hours there; there’s a lot to see! I underestimated the time I needed to explore everything. Seriously, give yourself at least 3 hours!

I suggest bringing a refillable water bottle. You can fill it up at the visitor center, and trust me, you'll need it while hiking the trails.

I think it's a great idea to plan time for the botanical gardens too. They’re right near the entrance and beautiful, plus they're often skipped by others.

Consider visiting on a weekday rather than the weekend. I went on a Saturday, and it was super crowded — a bit overwhelming. Weekdays are more chill.

If you're interested in the art museum, try to visit around 2 PM. Not too crowded at that time, and the light coming in is amazing for photos!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The park is huge, and you might find yourself walking a lot more than you planned!

I suggest bringing a picnic. There are some lovely spots to relax, and it saves you money on food, plus you get to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Start your day around 8 AM to catch the stunning sunrise. The early light makes for amazing photos and you'll beat the crowds visiting later in the day
