A dress code is required to enter places of worship and selected museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders MUST be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements.

Please note that St. Peter's Basilica is an active parish and is therefore subject to unforeseen closures for spiritual celebrations. In such cases we will, if possible, contact you in advance with an alternative tour time or itinerary.

Please note: All guests must go through an airport-style security check. During peak seasons, the wait time at security check can be up to 30 minutes.

Please Note: We are not responsible for partial closures within the Vatican Museums or the Sistine Chapel. No refunds will be provided if specific areas are closed due to special events. Refunds will only be issued if the entire site is closed and the visit cannot take place.

Visitors with a disability certificate of 67% or more enter the Vatican Museums for free. If the visitor is not self-sufficient, one companion also enters for free. These free tickets cannot be booked online and do not require a reservation. Simply go directly to the Vatican Museums entrance

For the 15:30 time slot, visitors will first enter St. Peter’s Basilica for a self-guided visit, followed by the guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.
