A very nice Palazzo :) We were about to skipped this palazzo but after reading some highlights of this please we decided to go in. We're really surprise by this palazzo. The audio guide is included in the price of the ticket and they don't take Roma Pass More

Other travellers we met during our stay mentioned that they had enjoyed this beautiful palazzo. We decided to visit when we were unable to get tickets for the Villa Borghese -it was certainly a wonderful substitute - the audio guide was great with just enough information. Unfortunately the family suite as closed when we visited. More

This palazzo is well-preserved and contains works of art from the 13th through the 18'19th centuries. The Caravaggios were impressive. The audio was done quite well with the current Doria Pamphilj serving as the narrator and interjecting some personal notes to the tour which Lisa and I found quite entertaining. The visit was unhurried and you had plenty of time... More

We ducked in here on a rainy Monday when many of the more well known museums were closed. What a beautiful surprise! The scale of the palazzo is both grand and relatable, especially with the excellent audio guide offering the perspective of a descendant of this remarkable family. The collection is varied and a joy to behold. More

This is a stunning palazzo which is still in the private ownership of an extremely well-known family in Italy from which the Palazzo draws its name. Entrance is inexpensive at €10.5 and do make sure that you opt for the audio tour which is extremely good. It is a very nice touch that the commentary is from the owner and... More

This is a marvelous museum very near the Piazzo Venezia, containing magnificent works by the greatest artists of the western world. It is privately owned but open to the public (for a fee). It is well a visit, but is closed on Wednesdays, as I recall. Check that before going, but be sure to go there. I was last there... More

Free audio guide, narrated by 'The Prince'. A lot of impressive paintings, and not as crowded as some art galleries. More

the first room of this gallery worried both of us as it was filled with very dark paintings in great need of cleaning. It picked up a lot though as has some fine works of art, including some very interesting ones by artists we didn't know. Some have been restored and most of the others weren't in as degraded a...
