Itinerary

Galleria Borghese Stop 1
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.

Villa Borghese Gardens Stop 2
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.
