About this tour

Book your Borghese Gallery tickets with reserved entry and an audio guide, and spend two unhurried hours with some of the finest art in Rome.

A collection like no other

Housed in a 17th-century villa in the Borghese Gardens, the gallery holds Bernini's breathtaking marble sculptures, including Apollo and Daphne and The Rape of Proserpina, a room of Caravaggio paintings, and Canova's reclining Pauline Bonaparte.

Why Borghese Gallery tickets sell out
