If you would like this type of tour it is necessary to book ahead of time, it is minimal, and few guides are authorised by the Vatican Museums so book your guided tour of Vatican museums and Sistine chapel tours before you leave home. The must-see tours include the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, they have a lot of different sections that are not included in all the guided visit such as the Pio-Clementino, Gregorian Etruscan and Egyptian museums; the Raphael Rooms; the Gallery of the Candelabra, Gallery of Maps and Gallery of Tapestries; and St Peter’s Basilica.
The main thing to know about the best time to visit the Vatican is that it is crowded throughout the year if you book any skip the line Private Tour Vatican Museums Walking Tour in Rome you will not be disappointed. It is best to visit in January, February or the end of November and early December when it is quieter to visit the Vatican museum on a morning tour. The mornings up until midday are very popular and busy; the early afternoon is less crowded, it is essential to enter the Vatican Museums before 3 pm to see the Sistine Chapel before it closes. Mondays the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel may be busier, and they are both closed on Sundays, but there is a free entrance on the last Sunday of every month. You also have to consider when there are big events taken place such as a general audience with the Pope on Wednesdays. You can visit some sections of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel during the evening every Friday from 7pm-9pm May to October, but a reservation is essential.
There are essential sections inside the Museums that are not on tour itineraries but are well worth a visit these include Castel Gandolfo, The Pinacoteca Vaticana houses paintings from Giotto, Beato Angelico, Melozzo da Forlì, Pietro Perugino and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio your tour operator can arrange the vouchers from the ticket office for you. Most tours include a visit to Raphael’s Transfiguration the most famous and divine pieces of his work. The Carriage Pavilion is also over-looked it is classed as a gem and was established by Pope Paul VI in 1967. The Carriage Pavilion has sentimental portraits of Pontiffs from 1500 to the present the Papal conventional equipment, the arms and uniforms of the Pontiff Armed Corps.
My main tips for anyone wishing to travel and see the Pope in person would be to obtain Private Vatican tour tickets as you would have a better chance to see the Pope. There are three options to see the Pope: on Wednesday’s when the Pope is in the Vatican to give a general audience to the public in the Audience Hall during winter or in St Peter’s square. Sunday blessings at noon when the Pope gives his blessing from the window of his office above St. Peters Square.
There are some special celebrations such as Christmas Eve midnight mass celebrated by the Pope you will need to obtain tickets directly from Prefettura Vatican ahead of time. The Pope will spend his time in his summer residence in Castle Gandolfo from July up to the middle or end of September. The Bishop of Rome is also the Pope, and he visits local churches several times a year and can be a different experience for visitors who do not know the suburbs in Rome or if you did not book any private Vatican tours.
October to February, are the best times to visit Rome as it is cooler so you can enjoy your time in the city while you are on trips. Temperatures at there peak and may be unbearable; some could find it difficult to enjoy. The costs vary depending on the season, book in advance, for great rates and special offers.
B&B rates can differ from 50.00 euro to 25.00 euro depending on the season and remember hotel prices are much higher. Eating out can be affordable if you choose reasonable restaurants or if you give street food and bar food a chance. Some restaurants have menus perfect if you are dining on a budget.
Research, book tours and guides well in advance, same applies to skip the line tickets. Keep all your necessary documents in your accommodation safe. Stay conscious of your surrounding areas; please be aware of your surroundings. Do not buy tickets on the streets as they may be fake and you will lose your money.
With a natural Mediterranean climate, summer months can be hot, temperatures can be difficult to handle on city trips and lose in winter months for lots of rain. Winter months are more enjoyable as you can give yourself enough time to see all the main attractions and highlights while enjoying some downtime in Rome.
