Itinerary
Nestled in the heart of Rome’s Villa Borghese Gardens, the Borghese Gallery is one of the world’s most exquisite art museums. Once the private collection of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it houses masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Canova. Every room reveals the splendor of Baroque and Renaissance art — from Bernini’s dynamic sculptures like Apollo and Daphne to Caravaggio’s dramatic chiaroscuro. Surrounded by lush gardens, the gallery offers an unforgettable journey into the elegance, passion, and genius of Italian art.
The Villa Borghese Gardens are Rome’s green heart — a peaceful oasis of art, nature, and history. Once the private estate of the Borghese family, the park now welcomes visitors to stroll among elegant fountains, classical statues, and scenic terraces overlooking the city. Within its vast grounds stand cultural treasures such as the Borghese Gallery, the Temple of Aesculapius, and the Piazza di Siena. A perfect escape from the city’s bustle, Villa Borghese offers a serene blend of beauty, culture, and Roman charm.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
