This was a beautiful experience. Small crowd and limited time to see the collection. The park is an added delight.

The sculptures and art work were amazing. Being able to touch the sculptures and unbelievable. Only a specific number of people are allowed in at one time to ensure the best experience. Be sure an buy your tickets in advance and the museum was sold out on the day we were there and many were disappointed.

This place was full of beautiful statues and paintings, but can become boring if one does not know the stories of what the images tell. I suggest having a guide with you to explain everything to enjoy the place the most. The tickets that you purchase are valid for certain timings, and if you are not out by the time... More

A must see while in Rome. Best gallery I have been to. Book on line before you leave home. They limit the number of people entering so this means you can actually see the exhibits without the crowds.

Don't miss this one folks. Beautiful museum highlighting some key works of Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael and more. Beautifully displayed, feels intimate. You need reservations (at least a few days in advance during busy season). The reservations mean the Galleria is never too crowded. There were guided tours going on, we paid 5 Euro for the self-guided audio tour offered in... More

We missed this on a previous trip due to a sporadic taxi strike, but this time spent 2+ hours slowly walking through this rather small estate loaded with tremendous art and sculpture. It is wise to get a history of the Borghese and its lineage, because many of the original works were taken (home) to France, now in the Louvre.... More

So much quieter than the Vatican Museums and with treasures and cravings to rival anything there. Book well in advance and make sure that you visit. Simply stunning.

May 24, 2013 we, my 21 year old son, his friend and my sister in law had reservations for 9am at the Borghese Gallery. All of us agreed that the first floor is an an amazing place and we were so glad we went. The boys weren't too enthused about the paintings on the second floor saying they really liked... More

One of the highlights of our trip to Italy, particularly the fantastic sculptures by Bernini. Get your hotel to phone the Borghese ahead of time to get you a reservation number. I also recommend buying the Roma Pass if you are staying 3 or more days in Rome, as it allows you to avoid the lines at 2 of the... More

Decided to walk from tram line, and take in Spanish Steps along the way. Couldn't make it without help. By the time we got to the park we hired a golf cart driver to take us the rest of the way which was a few more KM. Museum was fantastic. Gardens were beautiful but we wanted to make it to... More
