Recently, on the Internet I find more and more sites devoted to online buying, booking tickets to museums, trains and attractions. There is also a clear tendency to intimidate a tourist, saying that you can’t buy tickets, you will stand in lines and so on. Sometimes this is true, but in most cases it is not, and the queues, if they exist, are not so scary.
One of the exceptions is the Vatican Museums and the Borghese Gallery - a collection of works of art comparable to the best museums in the world.
Due to the uniqueness of the place itself and its popularity, it is unlikely that you can get there at random, since the number of daily ticket quotas is limited. The only way out is to book tickets in advance.
Most reseller sites do exactly the same procedure that will be described below, only charge you an additional fee. In terms of complexity and time spent on entering data and purchasing, you will spend exactly the same time + booking everything on the official website the risk of running into scammers is zero. The instruction was tested on my grandmother, who in her life did not use a computer, and she did it - so you can!
Today we will learn how to buy tickets to the Borghese Gallery in Rome without intermediaries.
Attention: go only to the official TicketOne online ticket offices - only here you can buy tickets without intermediaries at the lowest price.
From the Borghese Gallery website we are always redirected only to the website www.ticketone.it - This is the official partner store of the Italian Ministry of Culture, so everything is in order. Basically, the process of buying tickets can begin immediately this page. Enter “Galleria Borghese” in the search
- See step-by-step instructions for registering on the site
Note that you can immediately see tickets to other Roman attractions.
Booking is best done at least 7-10 days in advance. You can even book tickets for 1 month.
The visit to the gallery is limited to two hours, so if you are a special connoisseur of art and want to enjoy all the works, you will have to buy two tickets. Believe me, there is something to see there.
Official Ticket Prices
- 15 euros - Adult (Full Price); Prices have risen since 2018.
- 2 euro -children under 18 years old (Gratuito <18 anni) or senior citizens over 65.
- 8.5 euros - EU citizens aged 18-25 and EU teachers - EU citizens who are students or teachers;
- Important: during exhibitions, ticket prices can increase up to 22 euros.
For example, we will book 2 tickets at full price for 11 euros at 9 in the morning. The total cost will be 17 euros per person, since you will be charged + 2 euros for pre-booking services.
Next, you are invited to select and change the time and number of tickets that are convenient for you. Such a chic choice of free dates is far from always.
In the price breakdown, we see that the ticket itself costs 13 euros, plus 2 euros costs its preliminary booking (Presale fee x € 2.00 <). Unfortunately, you can probably get to the Borghese Gallery only because of the limited space and the large number of people who want to visit this unique museum.
Note that a service charge of 2 euros was added to the ticket price. Total, you should get 13 euros for one ticket or 26 euros for 2 adult tickets. You can also insure your ticket for plus 3 euros. If you can’t come, they will return the money to you (minus 3 euros of course). They consider this option useful for ever doubters and changing their minds. For me personally, it is useless.
