City tours
Buy a guide and study it before you go. It will help you learn a great deal about the art collection so that you can spend your time admiring rather than learning.
Rent the talking guide but don't use it like a treasure hunt and rush from room to room. Because your visit is timed, it will help keep you on pace so that you can view the entire museum. Pay attention to the seismographs situated throughout the villa.
Shopping, Villa Borghese souvenirs
Your tickets before hand...either call when you get to Rome or buy them online.
