    Why You Shouldn’t Miss This

    The Borghese Gallery is home to one of Rome’s richest art collections. Featuring masterpieces from brilliant artists like Caravaggio, Raphael, Bernini, Titian, Canova, Correggio, and Rubens, the gallery is a living testament to Italian artists from the 15th to the 17th century.

    Originally assembled by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, the Borghese Gallery highlights ancient Roman, Renaissance, and Baroque art. A work of art itself, the interior of the gallery is beautifully adorned with frescoes, bas-reliefs, decorated ceilings, marble floors, and impressive columns. Within the gallery’s 20 rooms, enjoy the incredible opportunity to get an up-close view of famous paintings like David with the Head of Goliath and Boy with a Basket of Fruit by Caravaggio, The Deposition by Raphael, and Melissa by Dosso Dossi. Afterward, walk past stunning sculptures like Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne and David and Canova’s Pauline Bonaparte as Venus Victrix.

    Your Experience

    Upon arrival at the Borghese Gallery, follow your guide to the priority access entrance and skip the long ticket lines with your pre-purchased tickets. Inside the gallery, get lost amidst the gallery’s 20 stunning rooms. View paintings, sculptures, and frescos from brilliant Italian artists and admire the villa’s stunning interior. Throughout your tour, hear stories about the villa’s history and learn about the talented masterminds behind the fascinating artwork. With a guaranteed small group tour, your expert guide will make sure you experience the museum, rather than just see it. Another great thing about the Borghese Gallery is its unique timed reservation system. By keeping crowds to a minimum, you can enjoy an intimate visit to one of Europe’s most fascinating museums.

    After touring the museum, head outside for a relaxing stroll through the beautiful Borghese Gardens surrounding the Borghese Villa. A favorite spot among locals, it’s the perfect place to wrap up your Borghese experience. Be sure to catch the breathtaking views of Rome’s plazas from atop Pincian Hill.
