Relatively expensive for Rome, but the gallery has a really huge collection of paintings. I fell in love with their Caravaggio and just this room is worth to purchase the ticket. The audio guide is a very nice idea, however I missed some comments about famous masters’ masterpieces. The ceiling is breathtaking in the paintings gallery and I really liked the gift shop. The biggest problem are the light (sometimes the reflexes on the paintings are too strong) and the placement of the paintings - you can’t really see the details because the paintings are way too high. I understand they are set as they were in the past, but it would be worth to put especially the most precious ones in the bottom line. The big advantage is that the gallery isn’t crowded at all and that they are open also on Monday when most of the galleries of Rome are closed.

One of the most beautiful buildings which you have to visit. Full of paintings and antics Doria pamphili gallery is one of the most iconic places in Rome.

Don't miss this Palace and gallery. You need a lot of time to visit this gallery so start early as a vast collection of paintings and rooms. Jonathon Doria Pamphili has an enchanting voice in his audio guide.

Well that was a disappointment. No ICOM or student discount, everyone pays 16 eur. If you want an audioguide its 1.5 eur extra. I came around 9.15 when the gallery was already open and for at least half an hour there were cleaning ladies cleaning and vacuuming around the gallery causing noise which is very inappropriate in the gallery when one should enjoy in silence. Also, their tools laying around the masterpieces was not a nice view.
Even omitting this, I would still be dissapointed in the gallery itself. There is such a bad lightning that you can't see pictures properly which is unacceptable for a gallery.
Shame. There are 3 paintings of Caravaggio though, in bad lightening ofc.
This was a beautiful galleria. It has spectacular original art, carved statues, luminescent arched ceilings, chandeliers, and so much more. It took me to that place in history when it once was like that. I imagined being dressed in a ornate gown of that era sipping on some tea and conversing with the other debutantes. It was a lovely experience. A taste of history, blessed with art, and every detail that lavishes the senses. It's worth a visit. I bought a ticket online and went closer to closing. It wasn't as busy then, so I really had the chance to take photos and indulge with my imagination. I highly recommend it. If my review has helped you please like and follow me for more adventures. 🥂🍾 Arrividerci! Y Grazie...

One of my favourite places in Rome. Absolutely stunning from inside, quite in the city-centre and not so crowded. They have audio guides in different language. However, the air conditioning is not really good. It is quite hot inside but it is totally worth it!

Such a beautiful and amazing experience! Be sure to take the audio guide when you enter the gallery. We spent around 3 hours listening to all the explanations for all the paintings there. This is a place were we would visit again! Totally worth it!

Nice art gallery with Carvaggios and other great works. A lot of interesting sculpture as well. Not crowded at all so you are able to enjoy the works at a leisurely pace. They have audio guides in several languages.
