Begin on the ground floor with a breathtaking journey through Baroque sculpture. Marvel at Bernini’s dynamic masterpieces "Apollo and Daphne", "David", and "The Rape of Proserpina", as well as Canova’s elegant "Pauline Bonaparte". This section brings marble to life with emotion, movement, and mythological drama.
1h · Admission includedContinue upstairs to explore the Gallery’s world class painting collection. Admire Caravaggio’s striking realism, including "David with the Head of Goliath", and "St. Jerome". See Raphael’s delicate "Lady with a Unicorn", Titian’s enigmatic "Sacred and Profane Love", and Correggio’s sensual "Danaë". This section showcases the emotional power and beauty of Italian art.
1h · Admission includedAfter your tour is finished, enjoy free time in a self led exploration of the Borghese Gardens. After exiting the Borghese Gallery, stroll along Viale dei Pupazzi toward the Temple of Aesculapius, a romantic lake surrounded by umbrella pines and statues. You can rent a rowboat here for a quick paddle or simply relax and take photos. Then follow signs toward Pincian Hill Terrace (Terrazza del Pincio) one of Rome’s best viewpoints. From here, enjoy sweeping views over Piazza del Popolo and the city skyline, perfect for photos or a peaceful moment.
Pass by, no stopHead down the shaded path toward Casina Valadier, a historic café bar with panoramic terraces, great for coffee, aperitivo, or a light lunch. From here, visitors can either explore more of the park at their own pace, such as the Globe Theatre, Cinema dei Piccoli, or the Borghese Gardens, or slowly make their way toward Piazza del Popolo to re-enter the bustle of the city.
Pass by, no stopStep into a world where history whispers through the halls, and art comes alive. Our Galleria Borghese tours offer an exclusive passage into Rome's beating cultural heart.
Join a cozy, VIP semi-private tour with a cap of 6 art lovers, or an extra-small group tour with a cap at 15 or less. Want to explore on your own? Choose a ticket only option. Each step through this gallery is a step into a realm of opulent wonder, where every artwork is a note in an exquisite symphony of beauty.
Prepare to be captivated by the raw emotion and dramatic narratives frozen in marble as you encounter Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Baroque masterpieces. "Apollo and Daphne," "David," and "The Rape of Proserpina" are not just sculptures; they are stories carved by a master storyteller.
The Galleria Borghese doesn't just house paintings; it's a sanctuary where the canvas speaks. Caravaggio's "David with the Head of Goliath" showcases a stark interplay of light and shadow.
