Villa Borghese's Hidden Fountains?
I spent a week wandering Villa Borghese, mostly sticking to the main paths. The Galleria Borghese is stunning, obviously, but I kept catching glimpses of smaller, seemingly hidden fountains tucked aw… more
Yeah, Villa Borghese is a maze! I get what you mean about the hidden fountains – it's like a treasure hunt. There isn't really a formal map pinpointing every single one, sadly. Your best bet is probably just wandering around more, maybe off the beaten path a bit, but staying on marked trails. Or, maybe try looking at some really detailed satellite imagery of the park on Google Earth – sometimes you can spot stuff like that from above. Good luck, and let me know if you find any particularly amazing ones! I'd love to hear about your next adventure there.
That's a great idea about Google Earth! I never thought of that. I'll definitely give that a try. Wandering around sounds fun too, though I'm already pretty exhausted from my initial exploration. Maybe I'll go back another day, armed with that satellite imagery and a picnic. Thanks for the tips!

Oh god, you're not kidding. I saw those pictures and thought, "Surely it can't be that bad?" But lukewarm pasta and the "scent of desperation"... that's poetry. I'm bringing a Tupperware arsenal next time. Thanks for the heads-up; I'd rather not battle the cafeteria beast alone. Maybe I'll even bring an extra sandwich for anyone else who needs it.
