Plus others! The guide gives you a passionate, in-depth tour where you’ll learn everything you need to know about the Vatican and this beautiful piece of world history.

Important things to remember before your Sistine Chapel visit 

Keep in mind that almost 25,000 people visit The Vatican and Sistine Chapel every day! Try to plan ahead and consider visiting midweek, or during the low season (October-April) to avoid the crowded craze.

Since you’re in a holy, sacred place, please remember to dress appropriately for all Sistine Chapel tours. Wear more conservative clothing and close-toed shoes. Shorts are completely fine as long as they’re not overly revealing. Just leave the club clothes at home! Also, you cannot bring in luggage, laptops, or bookbags, so leave them in your hotel room. 

The Vatican Museums are open daily from 09:00 to 17:30, and the last entry is at 16:00. The museums are closed for all major Catholic holidays, so be sure to check the calendar.
