I was a bit disappointed by the Borghese Gallery, probably due to my own lack of knowlegde. I'm sure I was looking at some very famous scultures and paintings, but to my untrained eye it was mainly ordinary-looking scultpures and a load of old paintings. Nothing jumped out at me with a 'wow' factor, which I thought would have happened... more

The Borghese Gallery is simply amazing. You have space (especially if you go round backwards - as everyone is let in together try turning away from the crowds) and the most stunning sculpture in Italy. The Bernini done when he was a child is incredible. The Vatican Museum is my next best museum but oh, the crowds. This is really... more

Tickets: The advanced ticket buying process is a pain in the rear, but I understand why they do it. When I was in the Galleria, I appreciated the fact that the museum limits how many people can enter and how long each person can stay. It was so much better than most of the other places we went, because we... more

Hidden in one of the largest parks in the City, the Galleria Borghese is a must for anyone who is passionate about art. They have all the big names of the Baroque housed in the collection, Bernini, Carravaggio, and more. Bernini's name is all over the city, from St. Peter's Church and Square, to Piazza Navona to many other churches,... more

You have to go downstairs through the center door and there was an absolutely chaotic line. We then had to go to check our bags at the desk on the other side of the room. After that, you have to exit and then go upstairs to the museum entrance. We have a 2 hour allotment. It was 2 stores filled... more

We visited here on our first day in Rome. It was a bit of a walk to it from the Metro but we finally found it. Had to wait over an hour to get in as I had not realised there was a time difference between our last country and Rome. Yes I know. Stupid of me. But the wait... more

Based on TripAdvisor reviews, my husband and I booked a guided tour in advance of our trip to Rome, and were so glad that we did. Yes, it's somewhat of a hassle booking ahead, arriving in plenty of time, checking your bags, 2 hour time limit, etc. -- but we still felt it was well worth all the hassle. We're... more

Having read the revving reviews on Trip Advisor, our group of five decided to go check out the Galleria on our last day in Rome. As the rest have said it so well, Galleria Borghese is an absolute gem, and I would agree with the rest that it is a must-go in Rome! Bernini is truly a master - the... more

Mrs. Geek and I visited this gallery earlier this week and it was the highlight of our trip to Rome and Florence. We are interested in sculpture and eager to see the Bernini pieces -- we were not disappointed. There are also some great paintings on the upper floor. As others have mentioned, reservations are strictly required, absolutely no bags... more
