Good to know before you go
  • All visitors must bring a valid ID or passport, including children, as it may be required for ticket checks.
  • Shoulders and knees must be covered for the Vatican visit. Please bring a shawl or scarf if needed.
  • The tour involves a lot of walking and standing, including long museum halls, stairs, and crowded areas.
  • All visitors must pass through Vatican security checks before entering.
  • The route may vary depending on Vatican rules, crowd levels, security checks, closures, or the pace of your family.
  • If the Vatican closes the Sistine Chapel, galleries, or St. Peter’s Basilica without prior notice, the tour will continue in the areas that remain open.
