Full description

The Orto Botanico occupies former Corsini family land in Trastevere and has operated as a university botanical garden since the late 19th century, its terraced layout climbing the Janiculum hillside through rose gardens, a Japanese-style garden, and a notable bamboo collection. It's a more understated experience than Rome's grander parks, appreciated by those specifically interested in plants rather than expecting polish throughout.

Reviews are mixed on upkeep, but its setting and relative quiet still make it a pleasant stop in Trastevere.

Reviews

We stumbled upon this place while coming back from lunch and what a lovely surprise it was. A green oasis, with loads of paths to walk around and plenty of benches to have a rest and enjoy all the pleasantness the plants and the trees have to offer. My favourite part was the stairway through the bamboo grove. Really…
