Pro tips to help you make a pick

Tickets for the Borghese Gallery are strictly available through advance booking. Tickets are highly likely to get sold out, especially during peak seasons.

Use your pre-booked tickets to skip past the long lines, and enhance your visit with a multilingual audio guide or a hosted entry.

Consider joining a tour led by an art historian guide providing in-depth insights into the art, history, and context of the gallery’s masterpieces. It's an intimate experience with just 15 guests in a group!

Entry to the Borghese Gallery is typically for a limited period (usually two hours). Manage your time well to explore the collections thoroughly.

Wheelchair users can access the basement area for tickets. Additionally, wheelchairs are available for use on each floor. However, elevators are narrow, and certain tours might not accommodate wheelchairs. Check your tickets in advance to confirm the same.

Unfortunately, the Borghese Garden doesn't offer specific kids' programs or interactive areas in English. Strollers are allowed only for kids up to the age 2.

Did you know?

The gallery once housed masterpieces stolen by Napoleon from conquered cities. While most were returned, a few, like Canova's 'Pauline Bonaparte', remain as reminders of the gallery's turbulent past.

It is believed that Caravaggio gifted the painting 'David with the Head of Goliath' to Pope Paul V. It was an act of pardon for killing a man in a barfight and absconding for some years.

The Borghese Gallery has a third floor which is a storeroom containing over 260 paintings that could not find space in the Gallery.

In 2020, a tourist broke the toes of 'Pauline Borghese as Venus Victrix' by sitting on the statue for a selfie.

Villa Borghese

The 17th-century Villa Borghese was commissioned by the Borghese family and designed by Flaminio Ponzio. Located outside Porta Pinciana in Rome, the villa has a light and airy structure adorned with reliefs and ancient sculptures. It now houses the Borghese Gallery, which showcases Italian Renaissance and Baroque art.

Villa Borghese Gardens

Perched atop Rome's Pincian Hill, Villa Borghese Gardens boasts Piazza del Popolo's panoramic vistas. Transformed from vineyards in the 1600s by a Cardinal, it was further revamped in 1903 to suit English tastes. Now, with 90+ points of interest, it hosts attractions like the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bioparco Di Roma Zoo and Villa Medici.

The service from the staff who helped me at the office was excellent—they were super friendly and attentive—and the tour was great, but I do want to emphasize that if you want to enjoy a more peaceful experience at the Vatican, I highly recommend booking well in advance because it gets very crowded by midday. I highly recommend booking through this site—it’s very well managed.

Nearby cities to explore

The Borghese Gallery Dex experience is an interactive self-guided tour available exclusively with selected Borghese Gallery admission tickets booked through Headout.

Put on your earphones and follow a story that unfolds through the villa’s twenty rooms, connecting Bernini’s sculpture groups and Caravaggio’s paintings with the frescoed ceilings, ancient mosaics, and Roman marbles built into the walls.

Historical and fictional characters lead you through stories of Cardinal Scipione Borghese and how he assembled the collection, Bernini turning marble into fleeting skin and leaves, Caravaggio’s rise and disgrace, Canova’s portrait of Paolina Borghese, and Titian’s Sacred and Profane Love, accompanied by original music and immersive sound design.

  • Dex uses your phone’s location to guide you along a recommended route covering the entrance hall and its gladiator mosaics; the Bernini rooms with Apollo and Daphne, David, and the Rape of Proserpina; the Caravaggio room; the Canova room; and the first-floor picture gallery.
  • As you reach each location, it automatically begins the story connected to what you are seeing.
  • The route is only the starting point. When a sculpture, a ceiling, or a face in a painting catches your attention, pause and ask your Dex guide a question.
  • Photograph a supported sculpture, painting, or ceiling detail to uncover more about it, open a related story, or return to the route when you are ready.
  • Dex also points you towards recommended viewpoints, photo spots, and rooms and ceilings that are easy to rush within the timed visit. You decide when to pause, where to go deeper, and when to continue.

How Dex differs from an audio guide and a group tour

An audio guide gives you a collection of prepared recordings. Dex builds those stories into a location-aware route, automatically connects them to what is around you, and lets you ask questions or investigate supported objects along the way.

A group tour gives you live interpretation from a human guide while following a scheduled departure, shared route, and group pace.

Dex offers a different experience: a structured tour that you can begin when you choose, pause whenever something interests you, and explore at your own pace. Choose Dex if you want the direction and storytelling of a guided visit with the freedom to explore the gallery independently.

Selected Borghese Gallery admission tickets booked through Headout unlock the complete Borghese Gallery Dex experience at no additional cost. It is not available as a standalone purchase or with tickets bought elsewhere.

After booking:

  • Download the Dex app.
  • Sign in with your Headout details.
  • The Borghese Gallery experience will unlock automatically.
