Villa Borghese

The park and the gallery

Bernini and Caravaggio masterpieces in the green Pincio.

Villa Borghese is the largest landscaped park in central Rome, a green oasis of Italian gardens, small lakes, and tree-lined avenues that hosts some of the city's most important museums. Its crown jewel is the Galleria Borghese, with masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, Canova, and Raphael, while the Pincio Terrace offers a famous view over Piazza del Popolo. It is a relaxing and cultural destination, reachable by transfer with a drop-off at Porta Pinciana or Piazzale Flaminio.
