Lonely Planet review for Orto Botanico

Formerly the private grounds of Palazzo Corsini, Rome’s 12-hectare botanical gardens are a great place to unwind. Plants have been cultivated here since the 13th century, but in their present form, the gardens were established in 1883. They now boast up to 8000 species, including some of Europe’s rarest plants. You will find an avenue of palms, a garden with 300 types of medicinal plants (Giardino dei Semplici), a collection of cacti, and an aroma garden (Giardino degli Aromi).
