How does the Borghese Gallery's timed-entry system work?

Due to its incredible popularity and relatively small size, the Borghese Gallery operates a timed-entry system for visitors and only allows a maximum of 180 people inside at a time. Tickets and guided tours purchased through the official website or authorized tour operators are for specific 2-hour time slots during the day. Keep in mind that the final slot in the day, at 5:45 PM, only lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Generally speaking, 2 hours is considered enough time to fully explore the Borghese Gallery’s exhibitions and vast collection. After your timed visit concludes, you will be ushered outside, however you can still visit the café and bookstore in the gallery, before continuing to explore the Borghese Villa Gardens.
