Highlights
The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in timed two-hour slots, and those slots sell out weeks ahead. This booking secures yours, with reserved entry and a licensed guide or audio guide included, so the hardest part of visiting Rome's most sought-after museum is already done before you arrive. Inside the villa, Bernini's marble seems to move: Apollo and Daphne mid-transformation, Pluto's fingers pressing into Proserpina's thigh, David twisting into the throw. Around them hang Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian, and Canova's reclining Pauline Bonaparte — room after room of the collection a seventeenth-century cardinal built to outshine every other in Rome. Choose a guided visit, with groups capped at 15 so you stay within earshot in rooms that fill quickly, or a ticket with an audio guide if you prefer your own pace. Morning, afternoon and evening slots are available: the last entries of the day are the quietest and the coolest.

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.
