Uncomplicated. The guide was experienced and left plenty of time for questions. We still had 15 minutes to look around ourselves afterwards, so if you don't like baroque, you don't need to come.

Hello This tour was very expensive: 75 euros for just two hours is too much. The tour was good, but the excessive price didn't seem justified. The regular entrance fee is not high, so you pay a lot for the rest. I don't think your guide collects 60 euros a head. We took this only option to enter at this time and you changed our time from 15:00 to 9:00 without any explanation . Disappointing that too. I will not recommend you.

Our favorite visit to Castel Sant'Angelo "**. We loved this iconic monument, which is both beautiful, well-maintained and super-convenient for visitors. Here's why we recommend it: **The big pluses:** - A **magnificent** site with a **passionate** tour - Super-practical audio-guide application** (with our own headphones) - Ticket cutting** which saved us a long wait **Conveniences that change everything :** ☕ **A nice café** with tables to sit and eat 🚻 **2 well-placed restrooms** along the tour route - super convenient! 🌇 **A breathtaking view** of Rome from the terraces **Our experience:** We spent 2 hours there, and no time went by! Between the cultural visit, the coffee break and the photos on the terraces, everything was perfect. Having accessible toilets and a place to rest really made the experience more enjoyable. *Little tip:* - Visit at the end of the day for the sunset. - Allow at least 2h30 to fully enjoy the site. - Don't hesitate to use the audio-guide (really well done) A must-see in Rome, perfectly laid out for visitors. We loved it! ★★★★★

It was a really neat building with a lot of history. I loved walking across the bridge with the Berninis sculpture, I loved seeing the museum portion that showed the different phases of how the building progressed over time. The statue of St. Angelo and the terrace were beautiful and the cafe with spritzers overlooking St. Peter's Basilica was fantastic.

The ticket purchase was very fast , very convenient from home, I wanted to print it out but didn't make it in time, I left it electronically on my phone. We arrived ahead of time , as we had been requested and have no line at the entrance, the stuart read us the electronic ticket with the portable scanner and we entered. We are from Rome, but it had been years and years since we entered Castel Sant'Angelo!!! It is a wonderful, wonderful place!!! You can palpate history with your hands! We had the audio guide who told us all the history in the various centuries and vicissitudes. It is spectacular!!! Reminiscing to the wars it went through, to the Passetto of the Popes of the Renaissance, of the rooms with the fireplaces of the Middle Ages , and then , the view of Imperial Rome from the terrace : a magnificent thing is unparalleled!!! One could see the monuments to the Unknown Soldier, the Tiber flowing under the road the majestic Bridges , the Vatican Basilicas !!! And what about the view seen from the refreshment point, from the bar: we sat down to eat something, and continued to observe Rome from above !!! Outstanding !!! Now I understand why tourists come in droves to Rome !!! These places are present are in Rome !!!

What's special about Borghese Gallery?

World‑class concentration of Bernini & Caravaggio

No other venue offers four of Bernini’s early life‑size narrative statues plus six Caravaggios in their original context.

Authentic 17‑century villa setting

Artwork, décor, and architectural ornamentation remain in situ, providing an immersive time‑capsule absent from purpose‑built white‑cube museums.

Park‑within‑a‑park experience

Immediate spill‑out into Rome’s third‑largest landscaped park lets you easily combine your visit with bike tours, picnics, or sunset terrace aperitivos.

Capacity‑controlled intimacy

Strict timed slots ensure only 180 guests at a time, and create a rare 'private viewing' atmosphere. That's also why tickets routinely sell out weeks in advance.

Things to know before booking Borghese Gallery tickets

The Borghese Gallery adheres to a strict crowd management and time-slot system, permitting only 180 tourists at a time for a duration of 2 hours. Each new slot opens hourly.
Tickets are guaranteed only through advance booking, and can be purchased up to 90 days before the visit. The earlier you book, the better. The silver lining? Fast-track access is automatically guaranteed because of the strict time-slot and visitor cap.
Upgrade your tickets for an immersive multilingual audio guide, or a dedicated host who assists you with navigation and entry. Or pick a guided tour with an expert art historian and small group of up to 15 guests. Gain in-depth insights and enhance your appreciation of the gallery’s masterpieces.
Wheelchair users can access the gallery through the back entrance, in Piazzale Scipione Borghese n. 5. To access the second floor, you will have to use a smaller wheelchair that fits inside the lift, leaving your own wheelchair behind. On arrival at level 2, visitors can switch to a more comfortable wheelchair.
Entry to the Borghese Gallery is free on the first Sunday of every month. However, reservations must still be made if you plan to visit on this day, and tickets are mandatory for museum access. You can reserve your free Sunday visit up to 10 days in advance. Entry to the Borghese Gardens within Villa Borghese is free and you don’t need separate tickets.
EU citizens between the age of 18-25 can avail reduced pricing upon presentation of a valid government ID. Visitors holding a Roma Pass are also entitled to get free or reduced entry to the Gallery. However, this too requires prior reservation.
Although a visit duration of two hours is fixed by museum, add half an hour for ticketing and cloakroom; another one to two hours if combining with a stroll through Borghese Gardens or Rome Bioparco. While planning your visit, consider booking morning slots for fewer crowds or evening slots to enjoy a stunning sunset view from the Pincio Terrace.

Considering the various and multiple attractions that await us in the visit of our capital, I think it is essential to be able to take advantage of the proposed packages, such as Roma pass , this allows you to circulate with tranquility and ease of movement ,schedule the days and related cadential visits. The only aspect that I would improve and the associated map, ver 'that you have smartphones , but a figurative is always useful. the Romans are pleasant (if you pose in the right way ... often forgotten) then I highlight that overall and clean' , always magical, the second year that I do three days of visit ... but I'll be back ....ci miss it already' .By Max and Barby
