Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Close
The Vatican Museums is one of the most important Museum complexes in the world housing very important masterpieces from the Egyptian Age to late Renaissance.

The museums are composed of several sections:

- the Gregorian Etruscan Museum
- the Pinacoteca
- the Missionary-Ethnological Museum
- the Raphael Stanze
- the Sistine Chapel.


HOW YOU CAN AVOID THE QUEUE
There are only two ways to avoid the queue at the Museum entrance:

- book tickets to join a coordinated group.
This reservation allows you to avoid the long queue to buy standard tickets for entrance to the Vatican Museums. Even though our ticket grants you the privilege of not standing in line, you may have to wait a few minutes at the main entrance door and at the metal detector line due to the enormous number of visitors that the Vatican Museums receive daily. TuscanyAll will not be responsible for possible delays due to unexpected problems at the Vatican Ticket offices.

- join a guided tour with a Professional Guide.

TICKETS TO JOIN A COORDINATED GROUP
IMPORTANT NOTICE: pre-booked tickets allow to enter the museum without waiting in line.
Visitors who have booked these tickets can enter the Vatican Museums without waiting in line,only if you arrive at the time written on the voucher. Visitors who do not arrive on time, will have to wait in the general admission line. It is suggested to arrive 15 minutes before the admission time written on the voucher.
This reservation allows you to avoid the long queue to buy the standard tickets for the entrance to the Vatican Museums. Even if our ticket grants you the privilege not to stay in line, it may still be necessary that you will have to wait a few minutes more compared to the time written on the voucher due to the enormous number of visitors that the Vatican Museums receive daily. 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 meet all visitors in front of the Vatican Museums. Our assistant will have a large sign showing the Rome Museum logo. Visitors have to give the assistant their voucher. Once the group is complete, the assistant 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. The admission ticket to the Vatican Museums is valid for visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. The ticket is valid only for one day.
