By bus and metro, from the official site

The museum names Pinciana/Museo Borghese, on Via Pinciana, as the nearest bus stop, and the park entrance on Via Pinciana as the nearest. From Roma Termini it lists buses 910 (towards Mancini) and 92 (towards Marliana) to that stop.

From Barberini (metro line A), buses 63, 83, 52 and 53 stop at Pinciana/Museo Borghese, and buses 61 and 160 stop at San Paolo del Brasile. From Flaminio (line A), buses 89, 490, 495, 61 and 160 go to San Paolo del Brasile. From Spagna the museum suggests line A towards Anagnina to Barberini and then the same buses. We have not rechecked the lines with ATAC, so look at atac.roma.it before you go.

From Roma Termini

Termini is about 1.7 km from the Gallery in a straight line. Besides the buses above, you can take metro line A to Barberini. We did not read the ATAC fares, so check the ticket price.

From Fiumicino airport

The Leonardo Express is a non-stop Trenitalia train from the airport to Roma Termini in 32 minutes, with departures about every 15 minutes, and in some time bands every 30, according to Trenitalia. We could not confirm the fare, so check trenitalia.com. From Termini, continue as above.

From Ciampino airport

Trenitalia's Ciampino Airlink is a bus without intermediate stops that takes 10 minutes from the airport to Ciampino station, followed by a train to Roma Termini. Trenitalia quotes 2.70 € for the combined trip and 1.20 € for the bus alone. From Termini, continue as above.

On foot, in the park

As the crow flies, Porta Pinciana is about 600 m from the Gallery, the Spagna metro station about 1 km, Barberini and Flaminio about 1.2 km each, the Pincio about 1.1 km and Piazza del Popolo about 1.4 km. These are map distances, not walking times, which we have not measured.

The visitors' entrance of the museum is at the back of the building, at Piazzale Scipione Borghese 5, and the ticket office is in the basement, according to the museum and its ticketing operator.

By taxi and by car

The museum lists taxi ranks on Via Pinciana and on Via Vittorio Veneto, near Villa Borghese. Parking is paid (blue lines) on Via Pinciana and nearby streets. Inside the park only vehicles authorised by the city of Rome may enter or stop. The official site gives no information on supervised car parks.

Visitors with reduced mobility

The museum describes a stair lift beside the front staircase and says the sculpture floor can be visited entirely. The lift to the upper floor is small and does not take large wheelchairs, but the museum lends smaller ones. Contact the museum before you go to arrange the details.
