The Borghese Gallery was a dream come true for me. I did not purchase tickets in advance and was quite nervous I wouldn’t get in that day after traveling so far. The museum has extra tickets they sell every couple hours, so I waited in line for one hour and got in. The gallery has you walk in one direction to control flow, and honestly one of the guards tried to explain this to me in Italian—luckily I found someone to explain this to me. The surrounding gardens of the gallery are dreamlike—there are green parrots in the grass and other unexplainable beauty surrounds the property. If you travel to Rome, please make a huge effort to get to this gallery and spend all day there.
