Galleria Borghese

Highlight • Historical Site

Galleria Borghese is an art museum in Rome, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana. The museum has an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures by great masters such as Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Bernini and Canova. The museum was founded in 1903 by the Italian government, after it acquired the villa from the Borghese family, who had housed their art collection there since the 17th century. The museum is located in the Villa Borghese park, a beautiful green oasis in the heart of Rome. The museum is open every day from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, except Mondays. You must reserve a ticket online in advance, because the museum has limited capacity.

Villa Borghese

Highlight • Monument

Villa Borghese is the third largest public park (80 hectares) in the city of Rome after Villa Doria Pamphilj and Villa Ada. It houses numerous buildings, museums and attractions including the Bioparco di Roma. Cardinal Scipione Borghese used it as a suburban villa, a festive villa and to house his art collection (it was in fact he who initially constituted the rich Borghese collection, now on display in the Borghese Gallery inside the Villa Borghese Pinciana). The gardens as they are today were redone in the early 19th century.

April 2, 2024,1. Tag Rom - Trevi Brunnen, Spanische Treppe und Villa Borghese am 2. April 2024

Our first day in Rome. We went to the Trevi Fountain and fought our way through what felt like thousands of tourists. It's really an impressive place, we also threw the coins over our shoulders and then we continued to the Spanish Steps.
