For me, the Borghese Gallery is the most incredible place in Rome. It features great masterpieces from artists like Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian and more. The décor itself - the ceilings, floors, doors and more - is breathtaking. The Borghese Gallery is a sensory overload of art, a masterpiece of masterpieces.

I went to the official website for tickets and guided tours. I could not find any information in English. Any suggestions on how to get ticket information in English? A direct link would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Doreen - I never was able to get to the official website. It just woudn't open for me. I will copy the link I used to get tickets and book tours, and it worked great for me. I believe it is also sanctioned by the museum. www.tosc.it/artist/galleria-borghese/galleria-borghese-2253937/
Did you buy from the gallery? If so, you might try calling their tickets line and explaining what happened. You don't want a refund, just an exchange for a tour with a different language. They very well could go for that.
When my daughters and I went in 2019 we started on the top floor as advised by Rick Steve's book. Then we got rushed out and didn't get to see the first floor. Be mindful of the time and realize they will put you out when you time is up. Big disappointment.
We booked a tour for this and the tour company c0cked everything up for us so i came here to see if i missed out on anything with my own eyes, also the staff were horrible. i have a walking disability and while i was using the railing to support myself upstairs a guard stormed down, saw me and stood until i moved for him and i nearly fell down. I guess italians haven't caught up with the rest of europe on invisible disabilities, I'll never be back at this place again, even if the art was amazing the staff are just as cold and stoney as the statues. This place really dimmed what has been an otherwise okay holiday, i reccomend everyone to go somewhere else there are other beautiful and much less touristy expensive villas and galleries, hidden gems even.
