Where it is

The Galleria Corsini sits inside Palazzo Corsini, on Via della Lungara, in Trastevere, along the Tiber and directly across from the Villa Farnesina. It's a wonderfully atmospheric spot, close to Ponte Sisto and the heart of the neighbourhood, part of which is a limited-traffic zone (ZTL).

By tram and bus

Your handiest landmark is tram 8 (from Piazza Venezia toward Trastevere), with stops nearby. The area is also served by several bus lines along the Tiber embankments and into Trastevere. From the tram or bus, the gallery is a short walk away on Via della Lungara.

On foot

The Galleria Corsini is easy to reach on foot from the historic centre by crossing Ponte Sisto, and from the heart of Trastevere. It's minutes from the Villa Farnesina (right across the street) and not far from the Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico), which occupies the former garden of Palazzo Corsini itself.

By metro

There's no metro stop nearby: in this part of Trastevere, tram and bus (or a driver) are more practical. The closest metro stations still require a transfer.

By car and with a private driver (NCC)

Via della Lungara and Trastevere are partly ZTL, with narrow streets, so your own car is awkward here. A private driver (NCC) makes the visit far easier: he drops you as close as possible and manages the ZTL and any waiting, ideal for pairing the Galleria Corsini with the Villa Farnesina, the Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico) or a stroll through Trastevere.

Suggested itinerary

The Galleria Corsini pairs perfectly with:

  • The Villa Farnesina (across the street), with its frescoes by Raphael.
  • The Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico), in the former garden of Palazzo Corsini.
  • The heart of Trastevere and Santa Maria in Trastevere.
  • The Janiculum (Gianicolo), climbing toward the heights.
