Mandatory reservation. No walk-ups. Only 360 people per 2-hour slot. Here's how to get in.
Plan your Italy trip →The Galleria Borghese limits visitors to 360 per 2-hour session. When your time is up, everyone leaves and the next group enters. There is physically no way to visit without a reservation. Walk-up is not possible. This is non-negotiable.
Official site: galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it. Tickets: €15 + €2 booking fee. Slots: 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm. Book 2-4 weeks ahead. Weekend 9am and 11am slots sell out fastest.
If sold out: check the site every morning at 8-9am for cancellations. Single tickets appear more often than pairs. Alternatively, GetYourGuide and Viator have allocations — they charge €35-50 but may have availability when official tickets are gone.
This is the most beautiful small museum in Italy. Bernini's Apollo and Daphne, David, The Rape of Proserpina — three of the greatest sculptures ever made, all in one building. Caravaggio's David with the Head of Goliath (the head is Caravaggio's self-portrait). Titian's Sacred and Profane Love. Canova's Pauline Bonaparte.
Two hours is tight but manageable. Don't try to see everything — focus on the ground floor sculpture galleries and the Caravaggio room upstairs.
