About this experience

Step inside one of Rome’s most exclusive art collections and experience masterpieces by Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Titian—all within the magnificent Villa Borghese.

Unlike Rome’s vast, crowded museums, the Borghese Gallery offers an intimate experience with strictly limited entry slots. Admire Bernini’s breathtaking sculptures from just a few steps away, witness the dramatic light and emotion of Caravaggio’s paintings, and explore rooms where every ceiling, wall, and artwork tells a story.

Tickets often sell out well in advance. Secure your preferred time now and discover the artistic treasure many visitors consider the highlight of their trip to Rome.
