Borghese Gallery's Secret?
I spent a glorious afternoon wandering Villa Borghese, the sun dappling through the leaves. The gallery itself was breathtaking, but I kept noticing these little, almost hidden pathways winding off i… more
Honestly, you're right to feel that way. Villa Borghese is HUGE and deceptively layered. Most people stick to the gallery and maybe the boating lake. To find those "other worlds," you gotta ditch the main paths. Explore near the Bioparco di Roma – there are some really lovely, secluded spots with fountains and hidden grottoes near the smaller, less-visited museums. Also, wander towards the Casina Valadier for stunning views... it's a bit of a climb, but totally worth it for the panorama and the quieter atmosphere. That area is usually less crowded.

Also, early mornings or late afternoons are your best bet for fewer people. Good luck with your sketching – I bet you'll find some incredible views.
