I pass the Vatican daily and noticed that earlier in the week seems to have to smaller lines; however with the Jubilee each day is unpredictable .in terms of tours, that’s a personal choice. Bring your passport and be prepared to turn it over during your visit. A colleague recently went to the Vatican and said that when they take your passport, you are given a card that you are required to carry constantly.

Hey, that’s so exciting—your first Vatican visit! You’re in for such a treat. I went recently and was completely blown away. Try to go early and definitely book ahead—the lines can be intense. I did a guided tour and loved it, especially hearing all the backstories behind the art and architecture.

Also, I actually posted my full Italy trip itinerary on Pinerary—Rome, Venice, and Cinque Terre—so if anyone’s curious or needs ideas, feel free to check it out or ask me anything. Always happy to help fellow travelers!

I can't wait to hear all about your visit—you're going to have the BEST time!

I do have a private tour experience, it’s more costly than a regular visit/trip but certainly worth it if you really want to achieve the most in-depth experience!

The Sistine chapel is now closed until after they elect a new pope
