Your experience

The Vatican Museums are some of the most visited museum complexes in the world and definitely a must-see, but with all that space, lines, and crowds, people can easily become overwhelmed and tired.

If you want to avoid this experience, imagine yourself walking through these ornately decorated halls without the noise of countless tourists — it’s like having the place all to yourself.

Access will unfortunately be barred if the Basilica fills up during the Jubilee, a circumstance that would be beyond our control.

In this case, visitors will have more time to stay inside the museums.

It should be made clear that for reasons of religion or similar nature, last-minute closures of St.

Peter's Basilica may occur and are beyond our control.

In such an event, time will then be spent inside the Museums and Sistine Chapel equivalent to what would have been seen in the Basilica, plus a visit to St.

Peter's Square with an explanation of the Basilica from outside.
