Pro tips to help you make a pick

Pick up a park map at the entrance to plan your route and make the most of themed zones and daily activities.

Wear comfortable shoes—paths are scenic but can be hilly and uneven in places, especially for strollers or wheelchairs.

Check the schedule for keeper talks and feeding sessions posted on-site for interactive learning opportunities.

Bring a reusable water bottle; refill stations and shaded picnic spots are available throughout the park.

Combine your visit with a stroll or boat ride in Villa Borghese for a full day of nature and relaxation.

Did you know?

Bioparco di Roma opened in 1911, making it Italy’s oldest zoological garden and one of Europe’s historic city zoos.

The park is home to Kala, a Sumatran tiger cub born in 2024—a celebrated addition to the endangered species program.

Bioparco’s Reptile House is one of Europe’s oldest, featuring rare species like Komodo dragons and giant Sicilian tortoises.

The zoo’s habitats are designed without traditional bars, using moats and natural barriers to create open, immersive environments.

Bioparco sits within the Villa Borghese gardens, just a short stroll from landmarks like Piazza del Popolo and the Borghese Gallery.

Plan your visit

Main Entrance (Piazzale del Giardino Zoologico)

Located at Piazzale del Giardino Zoologico, 20, this is the only official entrance to Bioparco. You'll find it at the north end of Villa Borghese, just steps from the tram stop and a short walk from Metro Line A (Flaminio or Spagna stations). The entrance features a grand arched gate and is clearly signposted. While the entry plaza is flat and accessible, please note that some interior paths in the park are hilly or uneven, which may pose challenges for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Strollers are permitted, but certain areas (like the Reptile House and some aviaries) have narrow or steep access.
