The Borghese Gallery: A Baroque & Renaissance Gem

Located inside the third-largest park in Rome, the Borghese Gallery is much more than a museum; it's one of the most prestigious private collections in the world. The villa was commissioned at the beginning of the 17th century by the Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, and a lover of the arts, whose sole purpose was to house his artistic treasures.

Thanks to this ticket with priority access, you'll immerse yourself in an absolutely luxurious atmosphere among fresco-painted ceilings, marble floors, and a decoration that seems like it's been practically untouched for centuries.

What to See in the Borghese Gallery?

The collection of the gallery was designed as a harmonious set mixing architecture, sculpture, and painting, offering one of the most intimate and beautiful artistic experiences in the Eternal City. During the visit, you can see:

Sculptures from Bernini: the museum houses the masterpieces that consecrated Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the Baroque genius. You'll be speechless when you see the dynamism of Apollo and Daphne, the realism of The Rape of Proserpina, where the marble looks like real skin, or the power of David.
Caravaggio's artworks: it's one of the few places in the world where you can admire artworks by Caravaggio together, including Boy with a Basket of Fruit, the Young Sick Bacchus, or David with the Head of Goliath.
Other gems: the museum is also home to the famous sculpture by Paolina Bonaparte de Canova, represented as Venus Victrix, as well as magistral painting by Raphael, Tiziano, and Rubens.

Rome Sightseeing Bus

To complete your day, this ticket also includes a 3-hour ticket for the Big Bus sightseeing bus. This is the most comfortable and quickest way to move from the most important spots in the city without getting tired, enjoying the best views from its open-top upper floor.
