The Zoological Garden of Rome, inaugurated in 1911, was initially designed to entertain the public with displays of rare and exotic animals. However, it has since evolved into the Bioparco di Roma, a modern zoo that is deeply committed to the conservation of endangered species, environmental education, and scientific research.
When you visit the Bioparco di Roma today, you'll have the chance to deepen your understanding and respect for the environment. You'll encounter over 1,200 animals from approximately 200 different species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians from five continents. This experience is set within one of Rome's most intriguing and beautiful botanical settings.
While exploring the Bioparco of Rome, nestled in the spectacular Villa Borghese, why not indulge in a typical Roman tramezzino? It's included in your ticket and you can pick it up at various locations throughout the park.
