Rome, Italy port review

Rome, Italy
Shore Excursion and Port Informatioin

efschlenk

The eternal city is jammed with tourists in the summer. The line for the Vatican Museum was almost a kilometer long when we were there. Even during the lunchtime lull, the wait was almost an hour (entry, security screening, and ticket purchase all had lines). Inside the crowds are so thick that only the ceilings are unobstructed. As a more enjoyable alternative, make reservations by phone or internet for the small but spectacular Galleria Borghese collection in the Villa Borghese park. This museum admits a limited number of people for two hours at a time – spend half on the paintings upstairs and half on the sculpture downstairs, using the audioguide to increase your pleasure.
