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.

Giz

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 Carmine

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!)

Ioana Zeres

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 Javier

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 Sheppard

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.

Fluying ✅

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.

Andrei Aghi

I think the 2 hours are not enough too enjoy all the the things.Ps:if you intend to buy a Roma Pass you will have the entrace for free and you can call and reserve an advance.Reservation is mandatory!

Cross Pollinate Travel

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 .

Boon Yap

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 H

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.

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 B

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.

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 Benitez

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 Mani

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 Dunk

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 Craenen

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.

Talar Telvizian

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.

Naz Costante

Magnificent sculptures and paintings by Caravaggio and Bernini. With many others. Unic collection. Book tickets forehead online!!!!

Jonathan Chen

Book your tickets in advanced. Don’t leave it up to chance, the museum is spectacular, exhibits are quite exquisite!

Cristina Benitez

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.

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 .

Mecenate Palace Hotel - Roma -

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 Major

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 Stojanovic

You must book tickets in advance and you have only two hours to see this beautiful gallery . But it is definitely worth seeing. :-)

Pata Patak

With book ticket online 30 minutes before you time for entrance,Bernini specialy Appolo and Daphnie

Ben Taylor

The guided tours are fantastic. You learn so much about the amazing works on show.

Aydin Gunduz

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.

@sloane

Reserve tickets in advance - a must! Save time after to walk through the park to the overlook to see all of Rome.

Bijan Kafi

One of the most wondrous places on earth. Don't miss the picture gallery on the second floor.

Jon B.

Beautiful collection of renaissance artwork and sculpture . The Pietà was truly incredible.

Arte it

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

Marek Beneš

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).

Tablet Hotels

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!

Anna Lockhart

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

Max Kiryushenkov

Amazing galery. Especially the dome of the main room. Mostly recommended to visit

Elite Club Vacanze

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.

Bianca

Impressive! Try to spend some time there but book tickets in advance

Rome's largest museum and home to some of the world's best art collections .

Doc Druzsin

It's a classic one. I could stay around there 24/7, there is so much to see...

Tasha Major

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 Güneş

A must see. Bernini really is amazing.

Phil Calçado

Just amazing. Don't even think about coming without buying tix in advance.
