Know before you go

• Each visitor has to go through a security checkpoint like they would at an airport. In high season it could take as long as 30 minutes waiting at the security point.
• Youth tickets are applicable for ages 7-18 and require a valid ID card for those within this age bracket.
• Saint Peter's Basilica and Square in the morning might not be accessible— the Papal Audience could result in their closure so you should probably check before you set out for your visit.
• Similarly, the opening hours can be altered due to special events on some days held at the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's Basilica; ensure you verify this information before making your way over.
