Parco della Caffarella

A countryside‑like valley inside the city with pastures, streams and scattered ruins; it’s calm, green and perfect for decompression. Birdsong and breeze replace traffic noise, and you’ll find long, gentle gradients that suit all ages of dogs. Expect wide paths and mixed terrain that’s kind to paws, with shade pockets and benches for water breaks. Go early or at golden hour in summer to avoid heat; bring a collapsible bowl and extra bags. Leash rules vary by area—check signage at each entrance and respect protected habitats.
