About this experience

Visitors to the Galleria Borghese must secure a timed entry, as the museum allows a limited number of guests in two-hour slots that often sell out weeks in advance. This booking guarantees your entry and includes either a licensed guide or an audio guide. The interior features works by Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Canova, showcasing a collection amassed by a seventeenth-century cardinal. This experience suits those who appreciate guided tours with smaller groups, as guided visits are limited to 15 participants, ensuring a more intimate experience. Alternatively, an audio guide option allows for self-paced exploration. Entry slots are available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with the last entries typically being quieter and cooler.

Good to know

  • FAQ:
  • Is entry included? Yes — pre-booked timed-entry admission is included. The Galleria Borghese admits a limited number of visitors in two-hour slots, so your reserved access is guaranteed.
  • How long is the tour? Approximately 2 hours. Please note: the tour booked for the 5:45 PM (17:45) slot lasts 1 hour instead of 2, due to the gallery's closing time.
  • Is a guide included? Depending on the option you select, the tour is led by an expert guide or accompanied by an audioguide.
  • How does the audioguide work? If you select the audioguide option, download the POP Guide app before arriving at the meeting point, and bring your own headphones. This way you're ready to start as soon as your tour begins.
  • Do I need to choose a time slot? Yes — the Galleria Borghese operates on mandatory timed entry. You'll enter at your reserved slot.
