How to arrive to Vatican Museums

How to arrive with streetcar, bus or metro

Which mode of transportation is the best to take? The path to the destination can be reached by taking any of these.

Let us discuss the best way to reach the Museums. Starting from Rome's Termini station, we recommend taking the metro line A and heading towards Battistini. After a few stops, you will see the Ottaviano stop, which is your destination. From here, a short walk of approximately 550 meters is all that separates you from your destination. In case you prefer buses, you can hop on line 590 (Risorgimento) and ride it for 17 stations. Once again, you will get off at Ottaviano stop and continue on foot. If you want to use the services of the bussi network to get to the museums, here's a unique alternative: take the 71 (Staz.ne Metro Tiburtina) and after 9 stops, alight at S.Claudio. From there, hop on the 492 (Staz.ne Metro Cipro) that will take you to Bastioni di Michelangelo. Finally, simply walk to the entrance of the museums.

I'm searching for the quickest route!

The quickest and most convenient option for reaching the Vatican Museums from Rome Termini Station involves taking the subway, which can typically get us there in around thirty minutes (assuming no unexpected delays).

Alternatively, taking the bus means that we'll need to factor in extra time for walking transfers, resulting in a total travel time of almost one hour.
