Know before you go

• If you happen to be captivated by Wednesday mornings, it is important to recognize that St. Peter's Basilica and Square might not be accessible to visitors. The cause of this lies in the fact that the Pope holds his audience during this time. But do not worry! The value of your tour will still remain intact as it will include a captivating exploration of the Raphael Rooms instead.
• Dropping by the Raphael Rooms, folks, only on Wednesdays.
• The Vatican State might mix-up or switch around our tour route, thanks to potential tweaks.
• It is of utmost importance to follow the dress code which necessitates us to keep our shoulders and knees covered. Failing to comply with this rule may result in the authorities denying your entry, posing a potential predicament.
• When someone comes to visit, they have to go through intense security checks similar to the ones at airports. It's important for you to know that during the busiest time of the year, there's a possibility of waiting up to thirty minutes just for these detailed inspections.
