Visiting Villa Borghese? Craft your perfect itinerary

Solo travelers can take advantage of quieter visiting times, like weekday mornings. Using an audio guide will provide in-depth insights into the artworks. To avoid crowds, start your visit from the first floor.

Start early in the day and consider visiting the Villa Borghese gardens afterward for a relaxing outdoor experience. Villa Borghese offers more than just the gallery. After your visit, explore the extensive gardens, enjoy a picnic, or rent bikes for a leisurely tour of the estate. The park also houses a zoo and several museums, making it a full-day family-friendly destination.

The gallery is located within Villa Borghese and is accessible by metro, bus, and car. The nearest metro stations are Spagna and Flaminio, from which it's a short walk through the gardens. The fastest (though not the most efficient) way to get there is by car, though traffic can be an issue. There are also several paid parking options nearby if you're driving.

Unfortunately, the visit is strictly limited to a 2-hour time slot, which is enforced to manage visitor flow. It’s recommended to plan your visit accordingly to make the most of your time.

Apart from the Borghese Gallery, Villa Borghese is home to the Bioparco di Roma (zoo), the National Gallery of Modern Art, and various other museums and sculptures scattered throughout the park. It's an excellent place for a cultural and leisurely day out.
