Let me introduce you to the Rome Botanical Garden, a must-see attraction in the center of Rome, the Villa Borghese. Established over 100 years ago, it is famous as the oldest zoo in Europe, and you can see various animals up close, including lizards, parrots, capybaras, lions, giraffes, tigers, and hippos.
