We always rent bikes when we go to the Borghese Gardens – its a fantastic way to see the park. There are lots of wide shady lanes which are perfect for cycling. We ride from one side where they have the museum to the other where you can see Piazza Indipendenza. Most of the paths are flat. Villa Borghese houses one of the best collections of renaissance art in Europe so is worth having a look round with older children. In regards to the rental there are lots of different types you can rent such as a family electric bike (always good fun) or a mountain bike, kids bike etc. There are quite a few different vendors and most ask you to leave some ID whilst you take the bikes.
