Tips for visiting the Borghese Gallery

Borghese Gallery tickets grant you an audience with many masterpieces by history's greatest painters, from the Renaissance to modern art, almost every era and style is represented in its permanent collection and rotating temporary exhibitions.

Some of the Borghese Gallery's unmissable paintings include The Deposition by Renaissance master Raphael; David with the Head of Goliath and The Young Sick Bacchus by Chiaroscuro king Caravaggio; Cupid complaining to Venus by Lucas Cranach the Elder, and The Hunt of Diana by Baroque artist Domenichino.

One of the main reasons to buy Borghese Gallery tickets is to check out the museum's spectacular collection of Renaissance and Classical sculptures.

Among the most prestigious in the world, the Borghese Gallery's sculpture collection includes some of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's greatest works, including Two Busts of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Statue of David, Marcus Curtius Throwing Himself into the Chasm, Statue of the Sleeping Hermaphroditus, and many more.

There are two main categories of Borghese Gallery tickets to consider: Self-guided tickets with an audio guide, or tickets that include a guided tour.

If you are visiting the Borghese Gallery alone, or simply prefer art appreciation as a more private and cerebral experience, Borghese Gallery tickets that include an audio guide are probably a good idea.

If you're planning to visit in a group, or are more switched on by in-person commentary, a guided tour of the museum will likely suit you more. Note, there is a difference in price between the various type of Borghese Gallery tickets, so this is another factor to consider when deciding which tickets to buy.

You do not need to buy Borghese Gallery tickets to enter the Borghese Gardens, as the gardens are a free park amenity that you are able to enter and leave at your leisure. The park is a popular spot with local Romans for picnics, sport, and walking their pets. With around 80 hectares of lawns, walking paths, and even a small lake you can take a paddle boat out on, it's the perfect place to unwind before or after some art appreciation in the Borghese Gallery.

Due to the museum's relatively small size, and to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests at all times, there's a two-hour maximum time limit per visit in the Borghese Gallery. The venue keeps track of this by making each exit in the museum’s circuit mandatory.

Only 360 visitors are allowed into the Borghese Gallery at any given time. This policy lets you get the most out of your Borghese Gallery tickets, without being jostled by large crowds at the gallery's more famous and popular artworks.

About: Borghese Gallery

Built between 1609 and 1613, this opulent structure - fountains, gardens, pink marble walls, frescoed ceilings - seems ideally suited to house one of the world's best collections of art. And that was exactly what it was built for. Architect Flaminio Ponzio designed it for the cardinal and art collector Scipione Borghese, who wanted a party villa on the edge of town where he could house his enormous collection of priceless art. In 1901, the collection (and the gallery, and the park that surrounds it) was acquired by the Italian government, and opened to the public.

As a museum, Galleria Borghese punches well above its weight with an impressive hit rate of masterpieces. Sculptures by Bernini and Canova, paintings, by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian... the list goes on.

The Colosseum is a massive ancient amphitheater in the center of Rome. Picked apart by scavengers and ravaged by earthquakes and time, the Colosseum still stands as an impressive symbol of life in Ancient Rome. It showcases the power of past emperors and the durability of the Eternal City. This huge, marble and limestone structure was built to hold more than 50,000 spectators, all there to revel in the various forms of (mostly violent) entertainment, such as hunts, gladiator battles, and executions.

The Renaissance-era St Peter's Basilica is one of the largest churches in the world (and the home-church of the Pope). Highlights include the dome (the biggest in the world), Bernini's Baldacchino (the centerpiece of the church), and Michelangelo's Pietà (the only artwork he ever signed). For both the pious and the casual visitor, a trip to St. Peter's is an awe-inspiring trip into the heart of Vatican City.

The towering cylinder of Castel Sant'Angelo, and its statue of Archangel Michael, is an instantly recognizable silhouette on the banks of the Tiber. Initially built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian and his family, its purpose has changed many times over the years, from a fortress, a residence, a prison, and now a museum.

Consisting of four grand and historic palazzos, this complex of museums was designed by Michelangelo. Its large collection is devoted largely to the history of Rome itself, and it features many many artifacts that date back to antiquity. It's also considered to be the world's original museum. Pope Clementine XII opened it up to the Roman public in 1734.

The Vatican Gardens are private urban gardens in the Vatican, covering an area of approximately 23 hectares (more than half of the country!). Established during the Renaissance and Baroque era, the gardens are decorated with typically ornate fountains and sculptures from these times. It is claimed that the foundation site of the Vatican Gardens was spread with sacred soil brought from Mount Calvary. Visiting the gardens requires booking a private tour, as no general public access is allowed.
