Vatican Museum Tickets - Fast Track Skip The Lines
Avoid the long queues for the Vatican Museum with a fast track Vatican Museum ticket
![]() |
| Vatican Museum Queue |
The Vatican Museum opens Monday to Saturday. The Ticket Office is open from 9 am to 4 pm. The Museums open at 10 a.m. and close at 6 pm.
Vatican museum tickets with fast track access means avoidance of the infamous queues outside the Vatican Museum each morning. The museums queues routinely snake back as far as the eye can see. On a bad day at the height of the season, it can be 2 hours.
Please note that all visitors including those with fast track access must pass through metal detectors at the security check point, so please expect to wait 20 minutes to clear security.
So, if you'd like to visit the Vatican Museums without a guide and avoid the queues, pre-book and skip the long entrance queues! Your Vatican Museums ticket will be pre-booked and pre-paid, for fast, hassle-free entry.
When you go the Vatican, remember the dress code is strictly enforced. No shorts, bare shoulders or miniskirts. This applies to both men and women. Even if you get through security, you will be turned away by the attendants at the door.
On a hot day there will be plenty of men in shorts turned away.
For art lovers: don’t even think to come out in less than 4-5 hours.
If you are a time poor tourist, whose only clear target is to see the Sistine Chapel then about 2 hours might be appropriate.
