Rome's Vatican Museums encompass some of the greatest art in the world, from Roman and Egyptian antiquities to paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, to the Sistine Chapel with its amazing ceiling frescoed by Michelangelo
The Vatican harbors one of the world's greatest museum complexes, a series of some twelve collections and apartments whose highlights include Michelangelo's incomparable Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms.
It's a good idea to get up extra early and be at the grand new monumental museum entrance (next door to the old one) before it opens—30 minutes before in summer—or be prepared to wait behind a dozen bus loads of tourists.
In fact, you should aim to do the Vatican Museums first, St. Peter's second, since they start shooing you out the museum doors at 3:30pm most days, 1:30pm many Saturdays (and, on the last Sunday of the month when it opens its doors for free, at 12:30pm).
There are basically four itineraries you can follow, depending on your interests and amount of time (it would be nearly impossible to try to see it all in one day—though you could breeze through each section in six hours or so).
- Beeline to the Sistine: The least rewarding route is also the shortest. The "Cappella Sistina—Corso Breve" makes a left at your first intersection, than loops around through the very corner of the Egyptian Museum to get to the long Gallery of Maps to the Sistine Chapel. This route is used almost exclusively by big bus tours and idiots who are only interested in checking "Sistine Chapel" off their list. It takes about 60–90 minutes.
- The Michelangelo and Raphael quickie: Nearly as bad as the route above, this itinerary follows the same path to get to the Gallery of Maps, but instead of going directly into the Sistine Chapel, it takes a detour through the Papal Apartments—the Raphael Rooms and Borgia Apartments—and the modern art (not because anyone really wants to, but because you have to pass through it to get to the next part). Then you get to see the Sistine Chapel; then you leave. Again, this route is mostly designed for big tour groups and those list-checking chuckleheads. It takes about two hours.
- ★ All the best bits: This is what I would do if you really don't have all day. At that first intersection, turn right instead of left so you can spend a good 45–60 minutes among the Old Masters in the Vatican Pinacoteca painting gallery. Then go back to the intersection and continue straight to follow the signs for the "Percorso Completo." This will route you through the ancient Greek and Roman treasures of the Chiaramonti Museum/Braccio Nuovo and the Pio Clementino, as well as the Etruscan and Egyptian collections, before heading down that long Gallery of Maps.
(Before you do so, I'd recommend overpaying for a cappuccino and a snack at the café off the Cortile della Pigna. You're art-appreciation energies are probably seriously flagging by now, and you need a breather to regroup because the best is yet to come.)
At the end of the Gallery of Maps, take that left detour to see those Papal Apartments (the Raphael Rooms and Borgia Apartments) and the modern art. Spend a few minutes inside the Sistine Chapel before embarking on another long corridor back toward where you started to exit. Give it at least 3.5–4 hours. - Everything: Nerd that I am, this is what I always do. Do everything just as above, only after the Sistine Chapel, instead of exiting, you continue on to to the modern buildings which house the remaining Vatican museums: The Profane (more ancient Roman and Greek goodies), Pio Christian (ancient Christian goodies), and Missionary-Ethonological (stuff from the rest of the world). Diehards will even take time for the Numismatic collection and the Pavilion of Papal Carriages. This will take you all day—five hours at least.
To any tour add 30–45 minutes for waiting in lines (unless you book tickets ahead of time).
Here are the Vatican's top sections (though note that the way they route you through, the Sistine Chapel comes near the end of all the main sections).

Together, the Vatican and Colosseum form two high points of Italian culture: the former, a dazzling ode to Renaissance opulence, and possibly the world’s greatest collection of the era’s art; the latter, a monolithic tribute to the engineering acumen and cultural excess that characterized the height of the Roman Empire. While they sit across town from one another, combined they form the two necessary destinations for anyone who seeks to understand the magnificence of Rome. On our full-day Vatican and Colosseum Tour, we take an in-depth look at each of these sites. Beginning our day at the Colosseum, we’ll survey this most emblematic icon of the Roman Empire before hopping on the Metro, grabbing a quick lunch, and marveling at the Vatican’s stunning collection of art ranging from famous frescoes to ancient artifacts. This is a great tour for anyone spending a brief period in Rome who wishes to take in its most important sites in a day. Full-Day Vatican and Colosseum Tour Meeting outside the Colosseum and armed with skip-the-line reserved entry tickets, we’ll make our way into the Colosseum, where we’ll receive a primer on the history of the structure—including its decay through the Middle Ages and eventual restoration—as well as the astonishing strides in architectural engineering the Roman Empire made in order to realize one of its greatest feats. Proceeding into the arena area, we’ll learn about the varying spectacles that took place inside, from naval battles to the exploits of gladiators. Our docent, using an array of supplemental materials and evocative imagery, will help the long-dormant structure come alive, placing us mentally within the heights of the Roman Empire. Onto the Vatican From here, we’ll hop on the metro to the Vatican, near which we’ll grab a quick bite to eat before proceeding onward into the Museums. Once again, we’ll take advantage of skip-the-line tickets to jumpstart our visit, getting a primer on papal history and the construction of the premises. After brushing up on the necessary background to understand what lays ahead of us, we’ll dive in, receiving a highly curated, compelling look at the sprawling collections, getting an art historian’s take on everything from the ancient statuary collection of Pope Julius II to his private apartments decorated by Raphael. All of this, of course, will serve as lead-up to the grand finale, the Sistine Chapel. While we aren’t allowed to talk once we’re inside, our docent will have primed us to fully appreciate the masterpiece, pointing out details often lost on visitors and giving us a thorough introduction to Michelangelo’s creative process so we may marvel completely at the pinnacle of Renaissance art. Afterwards, we’ll spend the remainder of our time in St. Peter’s Basilica, where we’ll learn more about Michelangelo’s prowess as an architect, admire Bernini’s Baldacchino, and place the structure within the social and historical context we’ll developed over the course of the tour. Take Aways Concluding our tour in the late-afternoon, we will be able to reflect upon some of the most revered accomplishments of Rome—from Renaissance art that continues to astound and inspire today, to the incredible advancements made by the ancient Romans. We’ll part with the docent feeling awed, filled with knowledge...and perhaps ready for aperitivo.

After lunch, we will move to the historic center of the city, or the ‘Centro Storico’. We’ll explore classical Roman streets and squares before moving to one of our favorite spots in Rome: the Pantheon.

As we wrap up our time together in the historic center, we will emerge with a greater understanding and perspective of the city and its incredible collection of buildings, structures, and renowned venues.

Tips
Spend all day at the Vatican. Two days if you can swing it.
- Even on a tight schedule, expect to spend at least 2–3 hours in the museums themselves, plus another hour St. Peter's around the corner. They're worth it.
Warning: The ticket office closes 2 hours before the museum, with the last entry at 4pm.
You can book Vatican entry tickets ahead of time to help avoid the lines, which can last for up to an hour or so in the summer. However, this adds a €4 fee to the already steep admission of €17. Or you can do it online via one of our partners:
Recently, the Vatican (or at least some guards) seems to have decided that you must dress "appropriately" to visit any part of Vatican City—including the museums—and not just St. Peter's, where a dress code has long applied.
Err on the side of caution and make sure you arrive with no bare shoulders, knees or midriffs.
That means: no shorts, no miniskirts, no sleeveless shirts or blouses, no tank-tops. Also, no hats.
(If it's hot and you want to wear a tank top around town that day, just bring a light shawl to cover your shoulders while inside.)
Also, you cannot bring into the museum any bag or backpack larger than 40cm x 35cm x 15cm (roughly 16" x 14" x 6")—there is a cloackroom where you can leave it.
Vatican Museum free days
The Vatican Museums are free on the last Sunday of each month, when they stay open until 2pm (last entry: 12:30pm). This, however, is no secret, so they are also intensely crowded.
On any other Sunday, however, the Vatican Museum are closed—and if that final Sunday of the month happens falls on a church holiday (see below), they also remain closed.
The Vatican is also free on Sept. 27 (World Tourism Day).
Vatican most crowded on Sun and Wed
The Vatican Museums are most crowded on Sundays (because they're free) and many Wednesdays (because in the morning St. Peter's itself is often closed for the papal audience in the piazza, so everyone who doesn't have tickets walks around the walls to kill time inside the museums, and by afternoon all the audience-goers join them).
Open late on summer Fridays
The Vatican has been experimenting with reopening the museums on Friday evenings spring through fall allowing a limited number of visitors—upon advance booking only—to wander the mooonlit galleries without the crowds.
- Galleries open on Friday nights:
To book: Viator.com
Vatican closed on church holidays
The Vatican Museums are closed on all church holidays: Jan. 1, Jan. 6, Feb. 11, Mar. 19, Easter Sunday and Monday, May 1, June 29 (Feast of St. Peter and Paul—major Roman holiday), Aug. 14–15 (everything is closed in Rome on Aug. 15; head to Santa Maria Maggiore for mass with a "snowfall" of rose petals), Nov. 1, Dec. 25 (Merry Christmas!), and Dec. 26 (Santo Stefano—huge in Italy).
Last entry: 4pm
Note that the Vatican Museums close surprisingly early (last entry at 4pm, doors close 6pm).
So see the Museums first, then walk around the walls to visit St. Peter's.
Cipro-Musei Vaticani is the closest Metro stop (on the A line, about 5 blocks northwest of the entrance; just follow the crowds).
Otherwise, bus 49 stops right in front of the museum entrance (you can catch it from Piazza Cavour, or anywhere along Via Cescenzio, which starts at the northwestern tip of the piazza, near Castel Sant'Angelo).
You can also take bus 490 or 492 to Via Candia (two blocks north of the entrance), or one of many bus lines to Piazza del Risorgimento, tucked into a inside corner of the Vatican walls a short walk east of the musuems entrance: 23, 32, 81,Tram 19, 81, 492, 590, 982, and 990.
