Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Skip-the-Line Tickets

Wear comfortable shoes as the experience requires a fair amount of walking.

Strict dress code: knees, shoulders, and back must be covered for all guests. When in Sistine Chapel, silence is mandatory and photography is prohibited. Guides will provide all necessary and interesting details before entry. Luggage and/or large bags are not allowed inside the venue. You may drop off your bags with the free cloakroom service. Pets and other small animals are not allowed in the venue.

This experience is wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible. This type of visit cannot be booked online—tickets are issued in person at the Special Permits and/or Reception desks in the museum hall upon presentation of a certificate of invalidity. The Vatican Museums offer free wheelchair hire and free entry for visitors with mobility impairments (certified invalidity exceeding 74%) and a companion if required. Click here for the accessible route.

Names are mandatory for all the bookings. Double check the names at check out for a hassle-free entry and be sure to bring a valid Photo ID with you to gain entry. The entrance to the Museums is timed. Be sure to select your activity starting time when booking. Once inside the Museums, you will be free to explore at your own pace. If you've chosen the Vatican Gardens open-bus tour, your visit will begin with the garden tour, followed by entry into the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. The multilingual audio guide is available during the garden tour only—not for the museum and chapel visit. Please note that the Vatican reserves the right to close the Sistine Chapel at short notice for institutional events. Although not included in these tickets, access to St. Peter's Basilica is free. Please expect long waiting times during peak season for both, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica. If you’ve opted for hosted entry, keep in mind that the host is not a guide—they’re simply there to assist and escort you through the entry process. While this experience offers skip-the-line access, you will still need to go through a mandatory security check. This cannot be skipped and may take additional time during peak hours or seasons.
