  • Rome. Italy. People biking through the leafy lanes within the Villa Borghese Gardens which is the largest public park in Rome. The park which is in the heart of Rome is one of Europe’s most elegant parks and features a lake, temples, fountains, statues, small zoo and several museums. It’s a pleasure to walk or bike through its leafy lanes and watch Romans and tourists at play or relaxing and escape the hectic streets of Rome.
