Know before you go
- All visitors must pass through airport-style security. During high season the wait at security may be up to 30 minutes. Please leave liquids and sharp items at home
- Please remember that the Sistine Chapel is a holy place, and attire must be appropriate for the visit. Both men and women are asked to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. The tour operator cannot be held responsible for entry denied due to improper dress
- Please note that guests may only carry small handbags inside the Vatican Museums. Larger backpacks and big pointy umbrellas must be left at the cloakroom. It is the responsibility of the guest to return to the Vatican Museums entrance to collect these after the tour
- Please note that St.Peter's may not be accessible at times. If this occurs during your tour we will spend more time inside the Museums & Chapel and your guide will give you a tour of the church from the outside
