Overview

Mobile ticket

Take a stirring journey through art and religious history with skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Avoid the long ticket lines and enjoy your visit at your own pace.

Wander through the Greek Cross Gallery to see elaborately carved sarcophagi that might just contain the earthly remains of some of antiquity's famous kings and queens.

Peek at the Cabinet of the Masks, or tour the Sala degli Animali to see a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Walk the Upper Galleries, including the Gallery of Maps, to see how cartographers depicted the world through the ages.

See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest in the Borgia Apartments for a while. Then, it’s time to marvel at Michelangelo’s exquisite Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and perhaps even of all the world’s art treasures.

Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums are the public museums of Vatican City. They display works from the immense collection amassed by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries, including several of the most well-known Roman sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museums contain roughly 70,000 works, of which 20,000 are on display and currently employ 640 people who work in 40 different administrative, scholarly, and restoration departments.

Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the pope's official residence in Vatican City. Originally known as the Cappella Magna the chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built between 1473 and 1481. Since that time, the chapel has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity. Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected. The fame of the Sistine Chapel lies mainly in the frescoes that decorate the interior, most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both by Michelangelo.

  • Overpriced misrepresentations!

    You don’t skip any lines. We waited for hours to get in, and were hassled by the Vatican Museum staff about the legitimacy of our tickets. You also charged two and a half times more than they actually cost.

  • Over priced

    The tickets will eventually show up in WhatsApp prior to your scheduled time. You should be dropped off at the museum main entrance. We did not follow the map given with the ticket (for an additional 1.5 hr walk) and entered there through the main line. It moves fairly quick. Going through the Vatican to get to the Sistine Chapel takes a long time, it’s a maze with no direct route. With that said, the marble statues and rooms visited are stunning. However, unless these are the only tickets available, I would choose another route, as they are just way over priced basic entry tickets.

    It took a bit of time to get the tickets to come through. It wasn't working via email so we needed to get WhatsApp make sure you have that just in case, once we downloaded that we were able to reach the tour company and get the tickets. We arrived an hour early in case of issues like this. The guards at security weren't a huge help so know before you go. We went to the museum entrance side to go to the line area. At the scheduled time the skip the line "line" opened and we walked right in. The instructions were very clear from there. Your was two hours and very informative our guide was awesome! After the tour we grabbed a snack at the cafeteria then wandering the museum for a while before leaving.
