You will need to exchange your tickets in Piazza Navona, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the Pantheon. The ticket exchange process was not difficult, and we were able to enter the Pantheon without any significant wait.

Our Tuscany trip, which started bright and early with a mix of excitement and anticipation, was blessed with great weather. We also had a fulfilling day thanks to our guide's engaging commentary. The itinerary was excellent: Civita di Bagnoregio, Pienza, Montepulciano (winery), the Cypress Tree Road, and Florence. The wine and our guide's aria at the end were absolutely fantastic! I wonder if I'll ever get another chance like this. Exploring the ancient village of Bagnoregio, dating back 2,500 years, truly felt like stepping into another world. It completely lifted my spirits after several disappointing tours. Thank you!

The Pantheon is a magnificent structure where you can find the Raphaelo’s tomb or remains, Emmanuel and many others. As always price is double what it cost at the entrance but you skip the line to buy the ticket that can be 30-45 min wait time plus time of entry. For this particular ticket you need to swap the voucher for papr tichets at Piazza Navona info center 8 min walk from the Pantheon.

It was great that I could see all of Rome in one day with just one Big Bus ticket. I started at the Termini Station stop in the morning from my accommodation. I got off and saw the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, then got back on the bus and passed the Altar of the Fatherland, Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona, and the Pantheon, then moved again by bus to the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain!! It's all possible.

It was beautiful and wonderful to see the scenery of Rome from a different perspective in the sunny morning hours, after having visited the places on a local tour.

I met the guide at 6:10 AM and went on the Southern Italy tour until 7:30 PM. The guide's name is Song Ji-seop, and he took good care of each person. Above all, he said that safety was the top priority, so I trusted him. Thanks to him, I was able to comfortably visit Pompeii, Sorrento, and Positano. I will never forget the Southern Italy tour I took to commemorate my 20th wedding anniversary and my eldest son becoming a college student. Thank you, and thank you for your hard work~^^ How meticulous and detailed you were with the restaurants and Italian greetings you sent. I praise you^^

What to See at the Borghese Gallery

Diana and Her Nymphs by Domenichino (Room XIV)

This dramatic painting shows Diana, the goddess of the hunt, with her nymphs punishing Actaeon by turning him into a stag. The myth comes to life through vivid color and movement.

Lady with Unicorn by Raphael (Room IX)

Painted around 1506, this work shows a woman gently holding a unicorn---a symbol of purity. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, it's one of Raphael's most mysterious portraits. No one knows who she is, and that makes the painting even more intriguing.

The Deposition by Raphael (Room IX)

This moving artwork shows Jesus being carried to his tomb. The details and facial expressions are full of grief and emotion. You'll see Raphael's talent in every part of the painting. It's one of the most powerful religious works in the Borghese Gallery.

David by Bernini (Room II)

Bernini's David is caught mid-action, just before throwing a stone. The expression on his face is full of focus and energy. You can almost feel the motion in the twist of his body. It's a standout moment in the Villa Borghese Pinciana.
