Galleria Borghese
MuseumRomeAbout 2 hours
A small, perfect collection in a garden villa — Bernini's sculpture at its best, several Caravaggios, and none of the exhaustion of a large museum. Entry is by timed slot and capped, so it must be booked ahead; that cap is also why it stays calm inside. Two hours, then the Borghese gardens around it.
