We just visited Rome and went to Villa Borghese Museum. The grounds and garden areas are beautiful and worth walking through, plusthe park is free. You can rent a bike if you are tired of walking. To enter the museum you must have a reservation code and 8.5 euro or you can use your Roma pass if it's one of... more

Great place to get out of the centre of Rome and relax a bit particularly on a hot day. There is a lot of shade under the trees, also some places and stalls to find something to eat and drink. Its relatively easy to get too. We took a bus from Termini bus station to the drive leading to the... more

You need reservations but it's well worth the effort. We got lost on the bus and got there late so we missed our reserved time. However we waited 2 hours for the next shift and were lucky enough to get in. What an incredible personal collection! Bernini, Caravaggio, et al; too many to mention or remember. The self-guided tour of... more

Lovely!

Villa Borghese is an excellent place to take a nice leisurely stroll or lovely jog through Roma.

The park is peaceful with mothers pushing strollers and lovers walking holding hands and picnics on the lawns. You will also find the absolutely best rooftop view above Rome with the Vatican in... more

Best museum in Rome, best park in Rome, do not miss the Villa Borghese! It is a lovely little break from the hustle and bustle of Rome city. Plan your walk through the park to exit just outside the old north city gates, and enter Piazza de Popolo from the north. We were in Rome for 10 days (March 2006)... more

We reserved space online a couple of days before and took the first tour of the day. The paintings, sculptures and villa itself are spectacular. It is nice because it is compact and the tours are restricted to number of people and time allowed. Get the audio guide to appreciate Berninni, etc. more
