Tours by booking and by itinerary

The Quirinal Palace (Palazzo del Quirinale) can be visited on set days and by booking, along several itineraries that let you choose what to see. As a rule, the routes differ in length and content:

  • A short itinerary (the main state rooms).
  • A complete itinerary (state rooms, apartments, works of art).
  • Tours of the gardens and the carriage collection (on dedicated dates).

Tickets are modestly priced and vary by itinerary (rates are indicative, check the official website).

Booking required

As the presidential residence, access usually requires advance booking and compliance with security rules (photo ID, checks at the entrance). Places are limited and sell out fast in peak periods, so it pays to book well ahead on the official website.

Opening hours and days

The palace is usually open to visitors on a few days each week (often including Sunday morning), with set times for guided or route-based tours. Hours and days can change because of the President's institutional commitments, so always check the calendar in advance on the official website.

Tips for your visit

  • Book early: places are limited and in high demand.
  • Bring ID: it's required for the security checks.
  • Choose your itinerary: decide whether you prefer the state rooms, the gardens or the carriages.
  • Take in the square: don't miss the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) and, if it's on, the changing of the guard.
