Must visit - right opposite the Colosseum

We accidentally landed in this park and it was a superb park. The view of the Colosseum is just breath taking from there. Its a nice place to just go for a walk.

Hmm... Interesting

This park can be found next to the Colosseum on a hill which ensures a nice overview to the Colosseum. The park is unfortunately very unmaintained, dirty and full of homeless people. Well, hard to say if it is worth a visit or not. You...More

Not pretty

This park is right next to the Colleseum so we thought it would be a nice spot for picnic lunch. We were wrong. Even the beautiful sunshine could not disguise the unmaintained lawns and overflowing rubbish bins. This park is dirty and we would not...More

Take a stroll in the park

The Park of Colle Oppio has several excavations going on with a number of fragments. One that is more "modern" is the square Piazza Martin Lutero: Teologo tedesco della Riforma (1483-1546), was inaugurated Wednesday, September 16, 2015, in the Park of Colle Oppio, close to...More

Too Bad for Such a Beautiful Place

We spent an early morning in the park enjoying the sunshine and was reasonably pleased with it as we were very close to the Colosseo. Walking through later in the day a couple of times revealed a relatively persistent police presence and some not-so-upstanding citizens...More

Definitely not maintained - average score only because it is of historical importance

Strolled down from behind into the park and initially didn't realise where I was. Stumbled upon entry to Domus Aurea (of course, no entry without reservation) and continued over difficult terrain behind the Domus Aurea and then entered the park - I was so terribly...More

Rome's Dump

This park is an embarrassment even to a dirty city. I walked the park and could not believe that Rome or Google Maps would consider this a park. It is clear that a mower has not touched this place in years. The park contains ruins...More

Filthy

I am from Rome and old enough to remember the good ol' days when this was a magical place with unmissable views of the Coliseum and Fori. Nowadays it is not a safe area - avoid at night - filthy and depressing.
