Most of Rome's museums and galleries are free for everyone each Sunday, not only to boost tourism but also to give everyone the chance to see and get immersed into the history and culture. 

After spending 6 months living in Rome, I can say that I have visited more than 80% of the free museums that are in the scheme. So now, its my time to pass this valuable knowledge to you!

Let's get started!

Borghese Gallery and Museum
@sandramoreira
The iconic Borghese Gallery is one of the most prestigious in Rome. With art pieces from Bernini and Caravaggio, you won't be able to take your eyes off from them!

Castel Sant'Angelo
@sandramoreira
One of my favourite places to visit and watch the sunset. Inside you will be immersed by all the changes that the Castle has been through, and end with an amazing view to the Vatican.
