When planning your trip to Rome you probably think of all the museums, archaeological sites and art work. If you're coming in the summer months you might want to find places to take a break from the city heat and get away from the crowds though. A great place to visit is Villa Borghese. 

Located in the heart of the city (close to Piazza del Popolo), Villa Borghese has a lot to offer... including a boating lake!

How To Get To Villa Borghese Lake

If you arrive by metro like we did, get off at Flaminio (on the orange A line) and then it's just a short walk in pretty much a straight line to get to the lake. 

The lake is circled by the Viale del Lago.

We had great fun exploring the lake. A perfect activity to do with kids but also great as a romantic spot. They even had parasols you could use if you wanted to. 

I highly recommend giving it a try if you get the chance.
