Galleria Borghese Tickets

The park is free; the gallery inside it is €18. Villa Borghese is a public park with no gate fee. The Galleria Borghese charges €16 for a full ticket plus a compulsory €2 booking fee, so €18, or €11 plus €2 for the last slot of the day. Visitors aged 18 to 25 pay €2 plus €2, and under-18s enter free but still pay the €2 booking fee (Galleria Borghese ticket page, checked October 2026).

Not for the park, yes for the gallery. You can walk, cycle or picnic in Villa Borghese without any ticket. The Galleria Borghese, the museum in the middle of the park, is the opposite: every visitor needs a booked, timed ticket, including the ones who enter free. If you came for the park itself, our Villa Borghese bike tour page covers the easiest way to see all of it.

Yes, and it is one of the few Rome museums you can see properly in two hours. The collection is Bernini's greatest sculptures (Apollo and Daphne, the Rape of Proserpina, his David), Canova's Paolina Borghese, a room of Caravaggio and paintings by Titian and Raphael, all in the villa built for them in the 1600s. Visits are capped at 180 people per slot, so it never feels like the Vatican. The catch is that you must plan: there is no walking in.

Book as soon as you know your date. The gallery's ticket page does not publish a fixed release window for ordinary days, but it says last-minute tickets are not guaranteed. For its free days (the first Sunday of each month, 25 April, 2 June and 4 November) the slots are released only 10 days ahead and there are no last-minute tickets at all. If your day is already full on the official site, a resold ticket or a guided tour is often still bookable. Check the dates still open.

The gallery's own ticket site, at galleriaborghese.cultura.gov.it. Its ticket page links to the official booking system, and you can also book by phone on +39 06 32810, Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 18:00. One purchase covers up to five tickets. Everything sold elsewhere, including on GetYourGuide, is a resold ticket or a tour that includes the €18 museum fee in its price.

If you mean the gallery, choose a date and a two-hour slot on the official site or by phone, and pay €18. There is no ticket for the park. On the day, arrive in time to leave large bags at the cloakroom before your slot begins, because they are not allowed in the rooms.

Any slot except the last if you want the full two hours. Every slot is capped at 180 people, so crowding is similar all day. The 17:45 slot is cheaper (€11 plus €2) but ends at the 19:00 closing, so you get about an hour and a quarter. A morning slot leaves the afternoon free for the park and the Pincio terrace outside.

Two hours for the gallery, and as long as you like for the park. The gallery visit is fixed at two hours by your slot. The park is far bigger than most people expect: walking all of it is a long afternoon, and a bike loop with stops takes about 90 minutes.

Bernini's Apollo and Daphne and Rape of Proserpina, and Canova's Paolina Borghese. Add Bernini's David, Caravaggio's Boy with a Basket of Fruit and David with the Head of Goliath, Titian's Sacred and Profane Love and Raphael's Deposition. The sculpture is on the ground floor and most of the paintings are upstairs.

Yes, as a break from the city as much as a sight. It is a designed landscape with avenues, a lake with a temple on it, museums and the Pincio terrace, one of the best viewpoints over Rome. It is free, and it sits right next to the Spanish Steps, so it combines easily with a gallery slot.

No. The gallery's own ticket page says no skip-the-line formula exists. Everybody enters at a booked time. Listings that say 'skip the line' mean you already hold a reserved slot, which is what every Borghese ticket is. What a resold ticket or tour can give you is a slot on a day when the official ones are gone.

Do not count on it. Booking is mandatory for every ticket type, and the gallery says last-minute availability is not guaranteed. Book the slot first, on the official site, by phone, or through a reseller if the official slots are gone.

Entry is free, but you still book and still pay the €2 booking fee. The same applies on 25 April, 2 June and 4 November. Those slots open 10 days before the date and there are no last-minute tickets on free days, so they go quickly.

They cost more than €18, and the honest listings say why. The ticket featured here, from $49 a person (checked October 2026), states that the €18 museum fee is included and the rest pays for the booking, a host at the meeting point and an audioguide app. If the official site has your slot, book there. If it does not, the resold ticket is how you get in that day.
