   Galleria Borghese

   1h

   Begin on the ground floor with a breathtaking journey through Baroque sculpture. Marvel at Bernini’s dynamic masterpieces "Apollo and Daphne", "David", and "The Rape of Proserpina", as well as Canova’s elegant "Pauline Bonaparte". This section brings marble to life with emotion, movement, and mythological drama.

2. 2

   Borghese Gallery

   1h

   Continue upstairs to explore the Gallery’s world class painting collection. Admire Caravaggio’s striking realism, including "David with the Head of Goliath", and "St. Jerome". See Raphael’s delicate "Lady with a Unicorn", Titian’s enigmatic "Sacred and Profane Love", and Correggio’s sensual "Danaë". This section showcases the emotional power and beauty of Italian art.

3. 3

   Villa Borghese

   Pass by

   After your tour is finished, enjoy free time in a self led exploration of the Borghese Gardens. After exiting the Borghese Gallery, stroll along Viale dei Pupazzi toward the Temple of Aesculapius, a romantic lake surrounded by umbrella pines and statues. You can rent a rowboat here for a quick paddle or simply relax and take photos. Then follow signs toward Pincian Hill Terrace (Terrazza del Pincio) one of Rome’s best viewpoints. From here, enjoy sweeping views over Piazza del Popolo and the city skyline, perfect for photos or a peaceful moment.

4. 4

   Villa Borghese Gardens

   Pass by

   Head down the shaded path toward Casina Valadier, a historic café bar with panoramic terraces, great for coffee, aperitivo, or a light lunch. From here, visitors can either explore more of the park at their own pace, such as the Globe Theatre, Cinema dei Piccoli, or the Borghese Gardens, or slowly make their way toward Piazza del Popolo to re-enter the bustle of the city.
