Palazzo Colonna
A true jewel of the Roman Baroque, the Galleria Colonna was commissioned in the mid 1600s by Cardinal Girolamo I Colonna and his nephew Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna. It was inaugurated by Lorenzo Onofrio’s son, Philip II, in 1700. The original project is by the architect Antonio del Grande; it was then integrated by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Paolo Schor and Carlo Fontana in the last decade of the 1600s.

One of the best Roman palaces open to the public
When Rome, do find time to visit this place. It is one of the best palaces open to the public. Unlike other galleries in the city, there's no need for reservations to enter Galleria Colonna. Walk-ins are warmly accommodated. Just check out the schedule. Ticket price varies depending on the premises that you want to visit. Marvel at its rooms and relax in the gardens. However, the place does get crowded, making it quite hard to take those much desired selfies. The place is very accessible by public transportation. It's located just a stone throw's away from the famous Trevi Fountain. Don't bring your own car. Parking in Rome's historic center is very difficult.

Beautiful museum palace. Don’t buy the tickets with the audio guide!
This is a beautiful palace with lovely gardens, artwork, interesting history, and a formidable gallery. The guides were very informed and excited to share their knowledge. Bonus points for all of the lovely benches and chairs to sit on everywhere! I loved how the family kept the crashed cannonball on the steps! We only stayed an hour and a half due to a busy schedule, and that was adequate, but it would have been nice to linger and enjoy at a more leisurely pace. One thing of note, the pass we purchased included a digital guide to Rome to use on our phones. It was a complete waste of money! Just purchase the entry tickets. A. It would be so much better to send access to this app a few days in advance, not just the evening before, as our visit to the Galleria was at the end of our trip, so we couldn’t use it for other sites visited during our trip. B. The Galleria Colonna wasn’t even part of the digital guide! We ended up purchasing the guide at the museum. C. It’s not very comprehensive. So that was a complete waste of $30 for the two of us

Excellent tour guide
I had an outstanding tour on Friday April 17th. Rebecca Harden was our excellent guide. Having been on many tours of stately homes and palaces in England Europe and the US, it was a pleasure to have such a knowledgeable, charming and engaging guide. I would highly recommend this tour, it is definitely worth the ticket cost. I really enjoyed Rebecca’s interesting and witty commentary.

Beautiful art gallery
A beautiful hidden gem in Rome. Such spectacular art work. Not a super busy gallery I think because not a lot of people know about it. We went in low season (March) and it wasn’t over crowded. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone.

Nice museum but buy direct
There is no value add to this company. They buy bulk tickets for entry then resell them at a high markup. We added at the museum additional rooms at a much lower cost. I recommend going but not paying extra.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome Galleria Colonna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome Galleria Colonna cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rome Galleria Colonna take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome Galleria Colonna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rome Galleria Colonna?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Rome Galleria Colonna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome Galleria Colonna?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome Galleria Colonna start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
