Skip-the-line Entrance Tickets to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

You have to show up at the meeting place 20 minutes before the tour start time and from there you can directly enter the museum, walk past the entire crowd. The beautiful experience you will achieve inside the museums will be ruined if you have to spend hours in the queue. But now this entrance ticket you just have to come on time and waltz into the museum by side walking the crowds.

Obviously! The lines outside the museum are horrendous. If you don’t visit the place you will not understand how crowded this place can get, especially during popular months. And with the help of this ticket, you can easily skip that crowd and go directly inside the museum. You don’t even have to purchase the ticket at that place.

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel are open everyday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Please note that St. Peter's Basilica is closed on Easter, December 24 and 31, religious holidays and from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM every Wednesday.

The Basilica is a place of worship that may be closed for religious activities without warning; in this case, a visit to the Vatican Library will be replaced.

Normally, the St. Peter's Basilica has another door that allows visitors to walk straight from the Sistine Chapel to the Basilica, however that door has been blocked for the time being since Covid19 Pandemic. As a result, no group tour or any tour may now enter the basilica from the interior. All visitors must depart the Vatican and proceed to the Saint Peter's Basilica, which has a separate entrance. As a result, St. Peter's Basilica is not included in a group tour at this time.
