This place was absolsutely spectacular. Make sure you book in advance days before you go. Get an audio guide for 5 Euro as its well worth it. The art collection is magnificent, and although I feel the 2 hours is barely enough time to see everything, I think it is just enough time to ensure that there is no feelings... More

This multi-story warehouse of late Renaissance and Baroque art and sculpture overloaded our senses after three rooms. We saw enough angels, saints, gods, madonnas and flesh to last a lifetime. Monumental in scope, but overwhelmingly forgetful in content, except for two or three items. However, a walk around the extensive grounds, including a delightful cafe located deep in the garden,...

Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the galleria since we couldn't by tickets. We got there and they were sold out until May 26. If you really want to visit this galleria make sure you buy your tickets online to avoid surprises. More

You really only get to be within the Museum for 2 hours - it is plenty of time to view the collection. The pieces are beautiful and be sure to walk around and check out the gardens as they are wonderful. More

This is a must see. We did not take a tour but used their audio tour (5 euro) It was very good and the way they have the entrance for tours at 2 hour slots made it feel less packed with people (unlike the Vatican tour) I could have gone back 3 or 4 times and not taken in everything.... More
