What travellers are saying
- JPJNSurrey14 contributionsThe whole of our family loved this gallery. Our amazing guide was an art historian and she made us appreciate the beauty and skill in the sculptures we were looking at. It is also a beautiful building and towards the end of the 2 hour slot it was almost empty.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cassie HCalgary, Canada486 contributionsI have been trying to get here since I first came to Rome back in 2009 and this was finally the first time. We were jet lagged but made the trek because we’d already bought the tickets. We went at 6pm and that was a great time as it wasn’t too hot or too crowded. There was a lot of steps (or rather walkways with a high elevation) which wasn’t great for my jet lagged self but I was really glad I went. It was incredibly thorough and informative. Had my husband not been literally falling asleep I would have definitely stopped at the cafe on the top level and enjoyed some wine with a great view.Written 23 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- STEVEN034London, UK90 contributionsThe most amazing experience that put the Vatican museum to shame.
Congratulations to the Colona family, who clearly care about their home, they kindly allow the public into in small numbers, but truly a memorable experience.
What made it extra special was our English speaking guide, Rebecca Harden, who went out of her way to explain everything clearly in a thoroughly professional way, and even adjusted to the younger members of the group to keep them interested too.
Truly the best guide I ever come across.
Thankyou.Written 30 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Right up there with the Piazza Colonna as far as a former grand estate filled with significant paintings and sculptures.Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ursula SLondon, UK47 contributionsWell worth a visit. I missed this on previous visits to Rome but it is not to be missed. Some amazing artefacts and wasn’t crowded or busy so had time to look at and read all the information about the displays. The pristine condition of some of the objects in the collections are breathtaking.
I would recommend combining it with a visit to the Baths of Diocletian and the Basillica which is just opposite. You can buy a combined ticket which is excellent value for money.Written 15 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

No advance reservations are necessary; you can purchase tickets on site and there was no line, and no crowds because the museum is so spread out.
We stayed 3.5 hours and could have stayed longer, we just ran out of time. There are amazing sculptures, statues and art, including some very famous and well-known works. The view of the Roman Forum was unexpected to us when we happened upon it, and absolutely breathtaking. There are also great city views from the rooftop patio, and you don't need to be eating at the restaurant to access it (see below).
There is a cafeteria/restaurant with decently priced paninis. The cafeteria is self-serve - you order at the counter and take the food to an indoor table yourself. The restaurant is table service on an outdoor covered patio. We had lunch in the cafeteria section and it was a nice break from all the walking.
There are apparently audio guides available, which we realized part way through the visit, but we weren't offered the opportunity to purchase them when we purchased our ticket. I expect it would have enhanced our visit, as though there are some signs describing the works (in both English and Italian), more would have been helpful. As others have noted, the buildings are a bit of a maze, but in hindsight it was sort of nice to not have a linear tour, but rather to happen upon amazing things in hidden rooms and corners.
A visit to the Capitoline really should be in the list of top 5 things any first-time visitor to Rome should do.Written 16 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's wonderful ... and it was also wonderful that evening to walk through an uncrowded, fabulous museum in a magnificent palazzo (note that the facade currently has scaffolding on it).Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- drjeffBoston, MA627 contributionsExcept for the fact it was hard to get to and hard to find I loved this place. No hoards unlike the rest of Rome. You can stay as long as you like and admire the beautiful art in peace. It is not crumbling . It has been beautifully restored and can be seen in about an hour. It is on the other side of the Tiber near Travestere.
It is well worth your time.
We got a taxi from the hotel. Getting back is difficult. We found Rome in general difficult to get around as you cannot flag down taxis and must search for difficult to find taxi standsWritten 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stefano GiaquintaTurin, Italy10 contributionsAn original installation, which brings together marble statues and old turbines or large diesel engines. The effect is pure steampunk narrative. The museum is in a peripheral and rarely visited area: if you go at the right time you could have it all to yourself.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike HPhoenix, AZ114 contributionsIf you’re looking for a museum that will provide history Beyond the masses, this is it. Rome conquered the Etruscan people, and improved their existing civilization. If you are a history buff, this is a “don’t miss” museum in the heart of Rome. In 2 hours you can take your knowledge of the Roman Empire back another thousand years. It’s very enlightening, and unique.Written 17 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Mariyana RWoodford Green, UK5 contributionsI strongly recommend visiting it. Any penny spent on it is worth it. There are a lot of paintings, a lot of architecture, and a lot of experiments... Must be visit again.Written 15 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SNCFVoyagerFalls Church, VA47 contributionsSigned up for tour in English and our guide provided great historical context for this renaissance villa. The gardens and main building facade that is hidden from public view is amazing with the inlaid panels from earlier times. Sitting atop Pinchon Hill the vista of old Rome spreads out before your eyes. Well worth the time and admission fee. For photos of the city a morning visit is recommended.Written 20 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
