Final Day: Borghese Gallery & Gardens (& more)
I stayed one extra day in Rome just to see the Borghese Gallery. The incredible works of art by Bernini were the highlights.
When I last visited in 2012 I naively thought I could get tickets 5 or so days in advance. No go - all booked up and SUCH a disappointment.
So this trip I was well prepared having purchased my ticket months in advance online.
The answer to whether it was worth it is, of course, an unconditional yes!
No pictures allowed of the works in the gallery but I hope you enjoy the pictures of the Borghese Gardens.
It was a glorious Sunday in Rome and I loved every minute of it.
I leisurely strolled through the gardens ending up in the Piazza del Popolo.
I topped my Roman visit off with a visit to another sacred, holy place: The Basilica of St. John Lateran.
A lovely, serene final day.
