Best itinerary including a visit to Palazzo Barberini
To get the fullest experience of Palazzo Barberini with Tiqets, reserve in advance and choose whether you would like to see the permanent collection or the palace and the current exhibition Bernini e i Barberini. Tiqets now emphasizes the regular Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini entrance ticket and the temporary Bernini exhibition ticket, and an option to purchase them as a combo. It is then simple to construct either a traditional art visit or a more comprehensive half-day of Baroque.
The best bet is to visit in the morning or during the late afternoon. The official and Tiqets are both currently indicating that Palazzo Barberini is usually open between 10:00 and 19:00 with the last entry at 18:00, but on certain days, like Friday and Saturday Tiqets lists are indicating that the palace is open until 21:00. Coming early will provide you with less noisy galleries and more time to appreciate the palace rooms before other people come in large numbers.
The easiest way is to come 15-20 minutes before the time of the event at Via delle Quattro Fontane 13 with your mobile Tiqets voucher in hand, and start with the permanent collection first. Begin with the grand staircase in the main palace, with the ceremonial rooms and the fresco on the ceiling by Pietro da Cortona, and proceed to the galleries of paintings, Raphael, Caravaggio, Canaletto and others. When your ticket includes Bernini e i Barberini, leave that provisional exhibition to the second half of your visit, when you will have already grasped the context of the Barberini.
All in all, allow approximately 2-3 hours to visit satiatingly. When you purchase the Tiqets ticket which also covers Galleria Corsini, you can make the day an extended art program, but most visitors find Palazzo Barberini by itself an excellent half-day in the heart of Rome, filled with art and well-timed.
