I planned a quick walk through, but spent hours lost and more than a few bicycle near misses. I love parks, have designed parks, but am with you on this one. Seeing the edges of ones you love is a perfect definition. On the other hand, my 2-hour time slot in the Galleria Borghese with the Damien Hirst exhibit was far too short.
Thanks! Funny post. I’m with ya on the bike thing. Alway got my jeans greasy from the chain or worse yet caught in the chain. Bell bottom jeans and bikes are not friends. 🤮
Thanks for sharing this, and for the lovely pictures. I truly can't wait to get back to Rome. Question, and I'm a newer subscriber so I might have missed this, but why do you dislike the bikes? I honestly couldn't fathom renting and riding a bike in Rome (I'd be too scared), but I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

I'm sensing a very bad experience with a bike in your childhood....
Hi Gillian. Loving your Substack. 😍Have you posted anywhere tips for tickets to Galleria Borghese? Kim
