Entry is free, and the garden is especially magical during rose season, when the air is fragrant and the hillside bursts into color. It offers a peaceful alternative to the more crowded Piazzale Michelangelo above, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a picnic (although eating may not be allowed anymore), nature, and city views. The Garden opens at 9 am and closes at sunset.
