The entire experience of this museum is delightful. The is a capacity limit so advance planning is a must. But that planning means you will actually be able to see these amazing pieces. The layout is great, the coffee shop / cafe is strong, and the Borghese gardens are a pleasure for strolling. (Audio guide is good too!).

This is by far the most beautiful galleria. The The Rape of Proserpina and Apollo & Daphne by Bernini are so beautiful. Pauline Bonaparte as Venus Victrix by Antonio Canova is amazing. I could never believe how could marble look so soft. I've never seen so many Caravvagio pieces in one setting. Galleria Borghese is free on the first Sunday of every month. For free ticket, you need to book very very early. Many other museums in Rome are free on first Sunday, and will have a lot more availability.

The treasures in this collection are awe-inspiring. I hired an art historian to walk me around, which was completely worth it - she knew her way around and I learned a lot about what to look for in paintings and sculptures, and some of the hallmarks of Italian masters like Rafael, Caravaggio and Bernini. This is one of those places that you MUST make a reservation ahead of time for - they only let a small amount of people in at a time, and you have two hours before they want you to leave (everyone gets a colored circle sticker denoting what time they came in that must be worn). Worth the hassle for the masterpieces in the Gallery's collection.

I feel not enough people know about this place, which is a shame since it's so beautiful. The park is huge and there's so much to see. Then the galleria is just breathtaking inside. 10/10 would recommend it (I wouldn't if you have kids though, young kids usually aren't able to fully appreciate these things and they make a lot of noise which disturbs the other visitors).

A must do in Rome. Absolutely gorgeous!! From the sculptures, paintings, mosaics and frescoes I don't know what was more stunning. Make sure to book your ticket in advance. It's located in a beautiful park that you can stroll through after you're done.

This was a 40 minute walk from our hotel in an absolute downpour but, boy, was it worth it! The art is fantastic and to see six Caravaggios was out of this world. Having said that, the organisational side could do with some improvement. We arrived a half hour before our timed ticket but were unable to enter the gallery any earlier as the scanner would not accept the barcode. However, the attendants told me that if I had printed the tickets, they could simply have let us in. There should be some sort of override as this is the 21st century and electronic tickets are the norm in most places. Also, as mentioned, there was a deluge on the way. When you arrive, you have to put umbrellas and bags (any bag larger than a useable clutch) into a cloakroom but they wont accept coats! So we and everyone else in there had to carry wet winter coats round the whole gallery and this got pretty tedious after more than two hours. Also, there is not enough seating once in the gallery. As stated, the art is amazing and you have to go, but lets make it a bit more pleasurable for the visitors.

This museum requires a visit. We have gone twice, both times on guided tours, which I recommend. The Bernini sculptures alone are worth the price of admission. If you go alone - do some reading beforehand so you know what to look out for as there is so much to see - the palace, the sculptures and the paintings. After visiting the museum, stroll the extensive grounds.

I'm just reviewing to let you know this is not a must for everyone. If you're into Roman/Renaissance art sure this will be a blast. If you're just a tourist curious of the world and you've seen Vatican Museum or Louvre this will be just another gallery. If you've already seen Vatican and have nothing else to do, sure - the museum is surrouded by beautiful gardens and a zoo, so there's places to go in vicinity. We skimmed through it in 40 minutes and were 'yeah, that's nice'.

Highlight of our trip to Rome. Quite astonishing place and an absolute must-do. The Bernini sculptures are astonishing and the Caravaggio paintings were a highlight. Nice cafe for after and lovely walk in the park away from the bustle of Rome. Even my teenager enjoyed it!
