Know before you go

  • When you go to the Vatican Museums during peak hours, there is a possibility that you will need to line up for a long time at security. Additionally, you might spend a considerable amount of time looking for your Vatican audio guide. Make sure you have one because it can be very noisy inside, and without an audio guide, you won’t be able to hear anything.
  • One can enjoy a free tour of the Vatican Museums if their disability level is 74% and above. This offer is available only to tourists with disabilities. If you are interested in receiving this advantage, it would be useful to notify the museums about your visit no later than one day before the actual visit so that they have enough time to provide you with proper conditions.
  • When we visit temples and museums, it is a must-follow rule that we adhere to the dress code. While dressing for these places, it is essential to be conservatively dressed and make sure not to show knees or shoulders, whether male or female. The establishment can deny entry if such restrictions are violated. Following Vatican tradition, the Basilica will be closed for tourists on Wednesdays after 2:30 pm, as well as during breaks and holidays.
