Botanical Garden of Rome

I won’t say that it was the most beautiful botanical garden that I have ever been. It was just okay and so natural. Rather than they try to take care of this garden so hard I guess that the gardeners here made a decision to just let it go naturally by itself. I respect their decision. I love gardens and beautiful flowers and amazing trees. Whenever I travel big cities I try not to miss the botanical gardens. Here you can enjoy walking and listening to the exotic birds singing. Oh ~ there’s also beautiful Japanese garden with full of fish in the pond. You’ve got to take a public transportation to get here. It’s a long walk from the center of city. I wouldn’t recommend visiting here by walking on such a hot sizzling summer day.

On their site there is information that it opens daily from 9.30. Google maps is actually correct at it opened from 10 (February). 10 Euro for entrance and the discount is minimal, 1 euro. The garden is beautiful. Lots of greenhouses and the terrain for outside vegetation is also very attractive. Some parts are not so well maintained. Not sure it is worth it at this price, considering size and maintenance.

This was such a cool find! We had some time to kill before leaving Rome so we walked over to the botanical garden as it was close to our accommodation. I wish we would have given ourselves more time because there was so much to see here. After spending a few days running around at the very heavily populated tourists with crowds and crowds of people, it was so nice to go somewhere quiet and serene. We went in the late morning around 10 am which was perfect because it wasn't very busy at all but was already a beautiful day. If you go up to the top of the park, you can see a gorgeous view of the city.

⭐️☆☆☆☆ Botanical Garden of Rome Unfortunately, not worth the visit for me. Having visited Kew Gardens in London, the difference is significant. Compared to that level of care, diversity, and organisation, this felt more like a simple public park than a true botanical garden. Many areas felt neglected, with old buildings, limited plant highlights, and an overall sense that the place is not being properly maintained or valued. There was little educational information, and the experience lacked structure or inspiration. Rome is extraordinary in so many ways, but sadly this botanical garden does not reflect that greatness. If you have limited time in the city, there are many other places far more worth visiting.

The greenhouses had some interesting succulents and cacti, but overall I was slightly disappointed. A lot of the areas seemed to be closed for the season/under renovation. Honestly I think I would skip this and spend more time at park Cedro del Libano. It was incredible (and free)!

We had a wonderful time at the botanical garden. The 5 dollar entry fee was well worth it. I would have even paid 10. We got to see all kinds of plant species. We spent hours and hours just walking around reading about plants and taking in all of the nature. Much nicer than being in the city. I think the park could do better at advertising everything it has to offer. There is a butterfly garden and a tropical greenhouse which were really spectacular. There is some construction and some things that were closed but we still had a great time.

Cheap entry, but amazing sights. Gorgeous view of Rome. Bamboo forest, Japanese gardens and gorgeous palm trees. A hidden gem with exploring!

May 2nd week -rose season is almost gone. It’s nice to see Big trees and some flowers . But green house is not organized. Just simple few Cactus were there. Japanese garden was nice. But i can see rose are not treamed well. It needs more care. With entrance fee 5euro it should be more organized. But it is good to walk around and enjoy nature .
