SKIP THE LINE, BOOK VATICAN TOURS ONLINE
Traveling to Rome and need advice on touring the Vatican City? Here a few tips on how to avoid the notoriously long lines at the Vatican Museums.
More than 4million people visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel every year, and if you have not planned ahead then three-hour waits are not uncommon. But do not worry as it is possible to avoid the massive line.
My advice is to book your Vatican Museums ticket online through the Vatican's website the admission price is 14Euros plus a 4Euro booking fee, about $25 total per person.
By pre-booking this ticket you can bypass the long lines to enter the Museums. These special Vatican tickets include the standard ticket price plus fast-track access fee.
Please note that all visitors must pass through metal detectors at the security check point, so please expect to wait 10-20 minutes to clear security.
My second suggestion is that whatever time of year you visit you choose to visit the Vatican Museums, you should try to avoid the mornings except on Wednesday when the Pope held the Papal Audience in St. Peter's Square leaving the Vatican Museums much less crowded. On the other hand due to the weekly Papal Audience during which access to St. Peter's Basilica could be closed, there is the possibility that you will be unable to include St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square.
If you dislike the crowd my last advice is to pay extra for a private guided Vatican tour but choose carefully because tour prices vary widely.
The Vatican also offers two-hour guided tours for $42 per person, including admission fee, but they can be crowded, with as many as 50 people per group. For a more intimate visit, book with a well- established private tour company. There are a lot of tour operators in Rome, so look around for the best deal.
Nancy Aiello Tours www.nancyaiellotours.com, based in Rome offers guided Private Vatican Tours with Official Vatican Tour Guides. Tours last four hours including the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and Raphael’s Rooms and, St. Peter’s Basilica and are strictly private, limited to you and your party only.
For private guided tour with wheelchair access, Nancy Aiello Tours cater to wheelchair users. The tour company can reserve wheelchairs free of charge and the licensed tour guide can lead you through the alternate routes.
Many visitors to the Vatican also want to attend the Papal Audience that His Holiness Benedict XVI gives every Wednesday at 10:30am in Saint Peter’s Square. The Papal Audience lasts for around 1 1/2hours, during which time the Pope will give speeches in various languages including English.
At the end of the Audience Pope Benedict XVI will impart the Apostolic Blessing and also blesses any religious articles you may have brought with you. Tickets are free but must be reserved through the Vatican at least two weeks in advance. Tour operators can facilitate the process, but some charge for the service. Nancy Aiello Tours provides this service free of charge.
The other opportunity to see the Pope in Rome, when no ticket is needed, is on a Sunday at noon for the Sunday Angelus. Pope Benedict XVI will appear from the window of its apartment where he gives a short speech followed by the Angelus and impart the Apostolic Blessing at the end of the prayer.
