Additional Information & Description
The Borghese Gallery brings together sculptures by Bernini and Canova and paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian in one of Italy’s most prestigious art collections. This ticket pairs a focused museum visit with a one-day hop-on hop-off bus tour of Rome, taking you from the galleries to the city’s main sights.
A collection shaped by Cardinal Borghese
Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V and a passionate patron of the arts, assembled the collection at the heart of the museum. Antiquities, paintings and sculptures fill 22 rooms across two stories, with Renaissance and Baroque works giving the visit its particular character. The range lets you move between painted canvases and sculpted figures rather than following a collection devoted to a single medium.
Art within an ornate villa
The setting deserves attention alongside the works. Architect Flaminio Ponzio designed the villa for the cardinal as a place for entertaining and housing his extensive art collection. Pink marble walls, frescoed ceilings and ornate halls form the backdrop to the displays. In 1901, the Italian government acquired the collection, gallery and surrounding park and opened them to the public, turning a private collector’s residence into a public museum.
Reserved entry and two hours in the galleries
Your ticket includes reserved, timed entrance to the Borghese Gallery. Visits last two hours, and a strict capacity limit keeps the galleries less crowded, giving you more room to appreciate the art. Treat that slot as dedicated museum time: the collection extends over both floors, so the visit calls for a measured pace through the rooms rather than an open-ended stay.
Continue through Rome by sightseeing bus
After the museum, the included one-day sightseeing bus tour lets you explore Rome with hop-on hop-off travel. You can leave the bus at any stop along the route and board again as you continue, choosing which sights to spend time at and how long to stay. A city map and WiFi are also included.
