Good to know before you go
  • Please arrive on time. Arriving at the meeting point after the time indicated on your voucher is considered a no-show and is not a valid reason for a refund (including a partial refund) or rescheduling to another time or date
  • Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women to enter the museums
  • Certain areas of the attraction may be closed due to religious events and national holidays
  • Children and students must bring an ID or student card with photo and validity period
  • Even if your ticket is a Skip the Line ticket, due to the mandatory security checks conducted by the museum security you may face a minor setback of 20 - 30 minutes
  • The Basilica of St. Peter's may be subject to unscheduled closings and late openings for religious ceremonies. As these are often last-minute, the Vatican's administration doesn't often inform the activity provider. In this case, you will be offered another date
