Rome: Galleria Borghese
Galleria Borghese is one of the most stunning museums in Rome. Itīs hard to get tickets, at least sspontaneous. Pre-booking is essential. The galleria is located in the casino nobile.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...38c090d88f.jpg The park around the casino is the Villa Borghese, one of the biggest parks in Rome. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0935084f06.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...12dc32ecbf.jpg As I said the galleria is stunning as it is a combination of beautiful rooms, painted ceilings, sculptures and paintings. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...816818c76a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1bf148a788.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4a28cce7a5.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...257fe1d5ec.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bf7fbedd39.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d8074e96f6.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a993d1417b.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7f7f499d41.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...a00daffc58.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5ca9b3cfd0.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...468f754f66.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4b6fd4df36.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f2d4845418.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e8bcd857b.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...22a792f514.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...76bb8f996b.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ab1c3d4411.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...88aa9383a8.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aea8ffa381.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...811f66e3b1.jpg |
Rome: St. Peter's Basilica

.).

Rome: Vatican Museums
Vatican Museums are also a place you better book in advance. When you are on your way to the entrance many more or less official people try to talk to you. While perhaps very few are really staff of the museums the rest try to sell you fast lane tickets and scammer try to sell you anything. I hate it.....
With our internet ticket we were inside very fast, changed our reservation to a ticket a machine and entered the museum. Iīm not able to show you much of it, itīs comprehensive. Here some impressions: Raphael, Transfiguration https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6759cbdfeb.jpg Statuette of the good shepherd https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2ff34c92d5.jpg Mosaic https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3c5b9f0127.jpg Room at the Egyptian section https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f973c92a9.jpg Laocoön group https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7038af21d9.jpg Round hall with porphyry basin https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f11bc51c31.jpg Mosaic at sala e croce greca https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f3552fe892.jpg Gallery of maps (would you call it crowded?) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d41cd61bbe.jpg Stanza di Raphael https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ee3957c422.jpg Borgia Apartments https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...552b4ec57d.jpg They also have some modern art like this painting from Dali https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f5236f2ec0.jpg Bramante Staircase https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...78576672b3.jpg Some will miss the Sistine Chapel.
