Visitors who have booked these tickets can enter the Vatican Museums without waiting on the line. Entrance must be strictly at the admission time written on the voucher, which can be either 8.30 am or 9.00 am. Visitors who do not arrive on time, will have to wait on the line.

This reservation allows you to avoid the long time queue to buy the standard tickets for the entrance to the Vatican Museums, that starts at 10:00 a.m. Even if our ticket grants you a privilege not to stay on line, it may happen that you should have to wait some minutes more compared to the time written on the voucher due to the enormous number of visitors that the Vatican Museums daily receive. TuscanyAll will not be responsible for some possible delays due to unexpected problems of the Vatican ticket offices.

PLEASE NOTE: an Assistant of our Agency (Tuscanyall.com Srl), will be waiting all visitors in front of the Vatican Museums. Our assistant will have a large sign with Rome Museum Logo to be recognized. Visitors have to give the assistant their voucher, once the group is complete, he will lead all visitors inside the Museums. This ticket does not include any guided tour once visitors enter the Museums, but a full assistance during the visit.
The closed sections in the Museums are indicated at the entrance.
Access to the Museums is permitted only to visitors with proper attire.
