HIGHLIGHTS OF ROME:
"Welcome, explorers! In our upcoming Rome trip, we've got an exciting plan to uncover the city's wonders. Picture this: we'll kick off with a comfy bus ride to Rome's biggest hits—like the colossal Coliseum and the stunning St. Peter's Basilica. These spots are perfect for the bus's wheels to take us right to the doorstep.
But here's where the adventure turns up a notch! Once we've marveled at these iconic sights, we'll hop off the bus to dive deeper into Rome's beauty. That's when our feet take charge! We'll stroll through hidden alleys, discovering treasures like the lively Trevi Fountain and the charming Spanish Steps—spots that need a more personal touch, just a skip away by foot. So, get ready to blend the ease of the bus with the magic of wandering on foot. It's a combo that'll let us soak in Rome's history and vibes in the best possible way!"
Remember that the sights can only be seen from the outside. There is no entrance fee included!
GALLERIA BORGHESE:
The Galleria Borghese (Italian for 'Borghese Gallery') is an art gallery in Rome, Italy, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana. At the outset, the gallery building was integrated with its gardens, but nowadays the Villa Borghese gardens are considered a separate tourist attraction. The building was constructed by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese himself, who used it as a villa suburbana, a country villa at the edge of Rome.The Galleria Borghese Museum houses and displays a collection of ancient sculptures, bas-reliefs, and mosaics, as well as paintings and sculptures dating from the 15th through the 19th centuries. Among the masterpieces of the collection – the first and most important part of which goes back to the collecting of Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1579-1633), nephew of Pope Paul V – are paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Correggio, Antonello da Messina, and Giovanni Bellini and sculptures by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Canova.
