Borghese Gallery Tickets are now available!

Yes!!! I just purchased mine. They are available up to June 30, 2023. I was just about to let the team know, but you beat me to the punch.

The only day I have available is the first Sunday June 4. I kept looking each day, and nothing seems available. Today the month of June showed up. Still blank. I realize this is the free day, but I don’t understand why nothing is showing up for the day. I’m very disheartened. I rearranged hotel and flight to See this museum. It appears nothing is available. I sent a letter no response. I don’t know what to do.

I think it’s closed. The 11th the next Sunday, showed up and was already full.

Oh well disheartening. 😞

I see that tickets for Friday June 2 are not (yet, anyway) being sold either. That's Republic Day in Italy, and while public offices and schools are closed, that doesn't normally affect the museums. Hmmm.

So just in case you need a Plan B/consolation prize, Kathryn?
Palazzo Doria Pamphilj has come highly recommended by RS forum posters who've been. It's on my list for next time as it has an impressive collection!

I'll throw the basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in here too 'cuz it checks ALL of the art and architecture boxes: lots of big names had hands on this one. Hours are on their public Facebook page, and it's free for the marveling (which I did!)

I learned that the First Sunday tickets are not year available for another week, so there is still hope.
