Useful tips

Best time

Start between 2 and 3 p.m.: there are fewer people in the museums then, and closing time at 6 p.m. still leaves room for the full 2-hour route.

What to bring

A smartphone with the tour downloaded in advance, headphones, a power bank, comfortable shoes, water and a light snack — 3 km and around 4,000 steps lie ahead.

Dress code

The museums do not admit visitors with bare shoulders or knees — plan your clothes in advance; the rule applies to adults and children alike.

The Vatican Museums entrance ticket is not included in the price

Buy your ticket in advance on the official website. We recommend planning your visit ahead so you do not have to queue.
