Hosts the Christmas Village each December — main entry from Villa Borghese north side.

Viale del Galoppatoio, 33, 00197 Roma RM, Italy

The historic horse-galloping ground of Villa Borghese, a flat sandy area used for horse exercise in the cardinal's day. Today an open multipurpose space hosting the Christmas Village each December and various open-air events through the year. Useful as a park-within-a-park for joggers and dog walkers; busy when events are on.
