Good to know before you go
  • There is a strict dress code: no shorts or sleeveless tops. Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with the dress requirements
  • You will need to pass through airport-style security to enter the museums. During high season, the wait at security may be up to 30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica may be closed last minute for private services. If St. Peter's Basilica is closed on the day of your tour, the Rafael Rooms will be visited instead. Tours at 3:30 PM, 3:45 PM, 4:00 PM, 4:15 PM, 4:30 PM, 5:30 PM, and 6:30 PM will also visit the Rafael Rooms instead of St. Peter's Basilica
