Create an itinerary including Galleria Borghese
Galleria Borghese is housed in a villa once used for elegant private parties. The art gallery contains a substantial part of a collection of paintings and sculptures amassed by Scipione Borghese, a 17th-century cardinal and art patron. Borghese was an early benefactor of artists Caravaggio and Bernini. You can explore 20 rooms across two floors. The main floor is mostly devoted to the period between the first and the third centuries, featuring mosaics of gladiators and several sculptures. In other sections of the gallery, you can see works by such artists as Canova, Raphael, Correggio, Titian, Rubens, and Veronese. An advance ticket, which you can book on the gallery's website, is required. Our Rome trip itinerary tool makes visiting Galleria Borghese and other Rome attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

  • We went to Gallery Borghese and thought we could buy tickets there. The guy in the ”cassa” told us it was sold out and that we need to nook 2 weeks ahead. I asked if we could buy in any other way...

  • Don't miss this extravaganza or Renaissance art, featuring some of the most famous works by Bernini and others. Paintings mostly on the top floor and statues on the second.

  • Gem of a museum! The highlights of Bernini are of course at the beginning of the visit, but be sure to continue on as this museum has so many great works. There's a few seats throughout, so make sure to just sit and take it all in. When visiting, it's the first building you see when you get into the park area. We walked right past it as it was quite unassuming. The park area is very nice to walk around in as well!
  • This museum is exquisite!! I booked tickets online which made it so easy, and it wasn’t as busy as I expected. There are obvious highlights, such as Apollo and Daphne, but the whole experience was amazing. I would gladly go back again!
