How to have a picnic in the Villa Borghese in Rome
At the Villa Borghese you will always find few tourists, so you can relax from the bustle of the city.

Bring a blanket, traditional Italian appetizer and a bottle of good wine. Find a cozy place under the shade of trees (the best place is near the lake) and enjoy the silence.
