My wife and I will be in Rome for a couple of days in October and I was trying to make a reservation for Sunday the 4th. When I try to book that day it says it' s unavailable. But when I look at the hours all it says is that it is closed on Monday. Am I missing something? Other days around the 4th are available but not that day. Help.

Probably just too far into the future. We are traveling to Rome and also want to see the Galleria Borghese. I discovered that one can use their Roma Pass to gain admittance to the Galleria without a line wait. But, you still need to make a reservation. Their website says that Roma Pass owners must call the number listed to make a reservation. So, we emailed our hotel and requested they make the reservation for us. (suggested by another traveler on this website) The hotel responded saying that reservations can only be made 28 days in advance. Hope that helps.

Actually, it is not too far in the future. Our reservations for Oct. 8 were booked online some time ago.
It appears it is free that day ( first Sunday of the month) so no online (paid) reservations. Apparently you can reserve by phone---which would be a good idea to avoid long waits.

Regardless of free Sundays, reservations to the Borghese MUST be booked as the museum can only handle so many visitors at a time. My thought was that you're trying too early but free Sundays can also fill very quickly so it's possible that they're sold out if Lola has tickets for October. Lola, you didn't book some sort of tour?
I'd keep trying.

Thanks for the replies. When I look on the calendar the first Sunday is always open so it must be free. now I need to work on reserving a time if there are still times open. thanks for the help.

Kathy--- we did not book a tour, just regular entry. Those reservations are available online, but maybe not by phone. For "free Sunday" reservations, they need to reserved by phone. If not open for reservations yet for October, they will just have to keep checking back---or maybe confirm if there is a "28-day rule" for phone reservations.

Did you ever get your tickets for the Borghese? I am trying to book for the middle of October and cannot get my credit card to go through. I called my credit card company and they say that they do not even see a charge trying to get through, so it is not a decline. Has anyone else had trouble booking with tickets.it?
