What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, and a couple of them call it stunning. Two visitors praise the art collection, singling out a Velázquez portrait, and one visitor feels the palace itself justifies a visit. Two visitors find it less crowded than other sights. The main caveat is access: one visitor says reservations are needed, while another notes walk-ins are sometimes accepted.
