If you spend on one thing in Rome, make it this.
Borghese Gallery
Bernini's Apollo and Daphne and the Rape of Proserpina are here, plus six Caravaggios, and no church or free Sunday elsewhere comes close for sculpture. Entry is by two-hour timed slot with capped numbers, so you can stand in front of the marble without a crowd. Book a week or more ahead.
Everything above is free. This is the only paid pick on the page, chosen because no free option replaces it.
