Let's be honest. The art. Bernini...Caravaggio...it was like a dream to see these works of art in person! It's June so it was hot and stuffy but it wasn't too crowded. Overall great experience.

Great collection, best to visit with a tour guide though. Limited english description for pieces. Few paintings/sculptures had audio option. You have to give your bag, but they wont take your jacket!
Salvatore De CarmineJune 26, 2015
Masterpieces by many artists can be seen here. My favourites are the marble sculptures by Bernini. Book and be punctual or you'll have to wait for the next turn to enter (that's up to two hours!)

Amazing gallery but the booking is mandatory. Don't forget to see also it's garden on the back where you can see again from outside the Bernini statue Ratto di Proserpina.
Ann-Margaret M JavierJune 5, 2015
I definitely recommend the multimedia audio tour they offer in multiple languages for €5 if you don't go there with a tour guide. Don't forget to look up! :) each room is a work of art on its own
Rachel SheppardJuly 6, 2013
The audio guide is so worth the €5! No explanation of the works, otherwise. Amazing museum, not to be missed. Make sure to reserve your tickets online ahead of time.

You’ll enjoy a collection of world-class Baroque sculpture, including Bernini as well as paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Rubens. The museum’ has a mandatory online reservation system.

In our opinion, the most beautiful gallery in Rome.The Bernini statuary is an absolute must-see. Considered one of the best collections of classical art in the world -at one time coveted by Napoleon.

Been here 5+ times
Well-worth the fuss. A treasure trove of Bernini sculptures, Caravaggios, & incredible rooms. Book online 2-3 weeks ahead for tix. Tours are 2 hrs. Always sold out. Enjoy!!
Bea HMarch 29, 2015
The audio guide is worth every penny (5€). It offers good stories and background information. Makes the visit so much better. I fell in love with Bernini.
Jacqueline L.July 10, 2019
If it's your first time, definitely book a guided tour ahead of time. No descriptive plaques like at many other museums. You'll get the highlights in the very limited two hours allotted per ticket.
Ilya BJuly 10, 2018
Tickets sell out a few days in advance, especially during high season. Do look for a guy re-selling pre-paid no-show tickets at face value. He is legit and those tickets get you in!
Neşe B.October 27, 2017
Wish we were allowed to stay there more than just 2 hours. A must see place once in a lifetime. Caravaggio i love you, btw. <3
Cristina BenitezJuly 11, 2014
It's a must see attraction, tbest gallery in Rome. Make your reservation a couple of months before your trip in order to get tickets for the day you want, since the number of visitors aloud is limited
Stefania ManiJuly 11, 2015
Amazing art collection! Buy the tickets in advance as it is always crowded and lots of time fully booked! Loved the park as well :)
Mark DunkJuly 1, 2014
Amazing collection of art. So may Bernini sculptures, and all interesting and beautiful. Had an issue with tickets, but they made good on the error. The ceiling artwork is truly beautiful.
Thomas CraenenFebruary 1, 2016
An absolute must see when in Rome. Be stunned by Bernini's amazing sculptures. Make sure you make a reservation a couple weeks before you visit.
Naz CostanteMarch 20, 2016

Talar TelvizianJuly 1, 2014
If you want to visit a minimum number of museums during your trip, this must be on the list. Be sure to reserve tickets beforehand cz they get sold out.
Paulo RementeriaJuly 28, 2018
My favorite museum in all Rome, I could skip Vatican for this. Don’t miss Bernini’s sculptures... Apollo & Daphne the best one.
Andrij KrochakAugust 26, 2017
Make sure to make a reservation to see this must see museum and all the fabulous works of art and architecture!
Taras KobetsSeptember 26, 2019

Jonathan ChenMarch 26, 2018
Book your tickets in advanced. Don’t leave it up to chance, the museum is spectacular, exhibits are quite exquisite!
Cristina BenitezJuly 11, 2014
Since you are aloud to stay for only 2 hours, visit the attractions and then, watch the rest. Attractions: Caravaggio room, Bernini's sculptures, Venetian paintings and Paulina Bonaparte (Canova).
Sam S.August 3, 2013
Worth a visit, if you have some interest in Roman history. There are busts of the emporers, including Hadrian. Note: Bags & cameras have to be checked in before entering the museum.

A real gem inside the most beautiful park in Rome. The museums of Rome will remain open to the public all summer and will host events and guided tours. For info please call 060608.

A tip for you: book way ahead. We were told today no available tickets till first of November!
Tasha MajorJuly 19, 2011
If you come to Rome, you MUST visit here! Masterpieces by Bernini, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, and more! Be sure to call and reserve ahead of time as they sell out days in advance.
Jovana StojanovicDecember 28, 2013
You must book tickets in advance and you have only two hours to see this beautiful gallery. But it is definitely worth seeing. :-)
Pata PatakFebruary 6, 2018
With book ticket online 30 minutes before you time for entrance,Bernini specialy Appolo and Daphnie
Ben TaylorMay 25, 2018
The guided tours are fantastic. You learn so much about the amazing works on show.
@sloaneAugust 26, 2013
Reserve tickets in advance - a must! Save time after to walk through the park to the overlook to see all of Rome.
Aydin GunduzOctober 9, 2012
The best museum that I visited in Rome. Don't forget to make a reservation for your visit at least a few days in advance.

One of the most wondrous places on earth. Don't miss the picture gallery on the second floor.
Jon B.April 10, 2023
Beautiful collection of renaissance artwork and sculpture. The Pietà was truly incredible.
Arte itNovember 15, 2011
The Borghese Gallery, for all its spectacular art content, has a master's missing - Michelangelo. Scipione Borghese was only a small crucifix made by the artist, and that, unfortunately, disappeared
Tablet HotelsMarch 6, 2013
One of the city's most exquisite art collections. If you only have time to visit one museum in Rome, make sure it's this one!
Marek BenešSeptember 11, 2015
You don't need the reservation to get there. Just come to the ticket desk few minutes after the time slot begun (9/11/13h etc).
Max KiryushenkovOctober 3, 2016
Amazing galery. Especially the dome of the main room. Mostly recommended to visit
Elite Club VacanzeJune 1, 2012
They say the best museum in Rome is the city itself. That may be so, but the Galleria Borghese is still a gem worth seeing.

Impressive collection of art, but buying tickets 2 weeks in advance and not being allowed to carry any belongings inside is just ridiculous. Plus they most likely broke my camera which was in my bag
BiancaNovember 14, 2015
Impressive! Try to spend some time there but book tickets in advance
Patrick PuricelliJuly 13, 2018
Rome's largest museum and home to some of the world's best art collections.
Doc DruzsinMay 28, 2017
It's a classic one. I could stay around there 24/7, there is so much to see...
Tasha MajorJuly 19, 2011
Do a guided tour or rent an audioguide. You only have two hours to enjoy this collection, so be sure to make the best of it!
Damla GüneşJuly 22, 2015
A must see. Bernini really is amazing.
Phil CalçadoApril 5, 2015
Just amazing. Don't even think about coming without buying tix in advance.
