The grounds of Villa Borghese is lovely. It is huge and on a nice, sunny day it is great to walk around. In fact, you will find locals dog walking or running in the park. You can rent bicycles and a pedicabs to ride around. There are a few interesting spots and you need a good map or Google maps to find… for instance the theatre that’s same as London’s Globe… never saw it. But stumbled on the Zoo, the Museum of Modern Art ( outside on main road) and another entrance that had a pond where people can rent boats to row alongside ducks. There are buskers too. A good 2 hours of meandering. If still energetic, walk to Villa Medici and from there, onwards to Spagna or Spanish Steps. You will come across a lovely view of Rome from the top.
