Such great tips! We went with a tour group and the situation regarding entry to the museum seems a bit confusing. St peters basilica was closed to tourists when we were there 😢- next time!!

Thanks! Yeah the same thing happened to me! They promised "skip the queue access" to St Peter's Basilica after the tour, but then made up some BS reason why it was closed (IT WASN'T!) I then had to come back later in the day to go inside the Basilica, thanks to that dishonest company I booked tickets with.

Just a quick question. We have purchased tickets for the vatican museum and a lunch at 2PM. Is there access to the Basilica from the museum or would we have to leave the museum then wait in line outside to get into the basilica? Im wondering if it would be smarter for us to get to the square at 9am and go into the basilica first when lines may be shorter, then make our way to the museum afterwards since we already have tickets purchased. We will be there in late October. Thank you for any suggestions!

@UltimateBucketList 7 місяців тому

Hi, thanks for stopping by. It depends - some companies have 'skip the line' access to the Basilica, which means that once you leave the Sistine Chapel - you will walk through a separate corridor to go directly inside St Peter's Basilica without having to queue in that horrendous line outside. That said, the company I booked with had 'skip the line access' and then made excuses as to why we couldn't go into the Basilica through this corridor (I really don't recommend them!). My suggestion is for you to check with the company you booked with to see if they do this (actually do this). If not, you can either queue for the Basilica before the museum (it'll be long), or queue for the Basilica after (it'll be a little shorter late afternoon). Hope that helps?

@UltimateBucketList 9 місяців тому

Thanks very much, glad you like the video. Ah yes - there's actually a problem with that ... the Italian Government are investigating these dishonest third-party companies (like the one mentioned in the video) who use computers to buy all the available tickets from the official website. This forces you to buy a ticket and a guided tour from them at inflated prices. That would explain why they're 'sold out'. My advice to you is: either take your chances and go to the ticket office on the day OR begrudgingly pay for tickets from one of these companies. Please don't do a guided tour, they suck. Hope that helps?

You're welcome :) Honestly if you have a short time, I think you'll enjoy St Peter's Basilica and St Peter's Square more (both are free). It's the Vatican Museum that you need to book tickets for, and if I'm being honest, if you can get tickets at the ticket office it's just about worth it. But if your only option is to overpay through these dishonest companies, don't bother. Walk down the street and visit Castel Sant'Angelo instead. Enjoy Rome :)

What month of the year was this filmed? Very few crowds

@UltimateBucketList 8 місяців тому

This was filmed in February. In my opinion, it was the perfect time to go.

Great tip to get there early BUT can you buy tickets on site at 7am or do you need to already have secured your tickets online?

@UltimateBucketList 11 місяців тому

Hi Mike, thanks for your comment. The 7:00am opening is for St Peter's Basilica, which is free and you don't need a ticket for that. The dome opens at 8:00am and you can just buy a ticket at the entrance. The Vatican Museum opens at 9:00am and if you're going during high season, you will need to book a ticket way in advance because you have an entry timeslot. You can chance it at the ticket office, but you'll be lucky to get in at the time you arrive. Hope that helps?

@user-zv3ik3qj7v 3 місяці тому

Thank you for your informative video! Unfortunately 3 months ahead and the standard entry tickets are unavailable! Is there anywhere else that just a standard ticket can be found using a third party provider? Thank you!

@UltimateBucketList 3 місяці тому

You're welcome! Ah, I can explain your predicament. The Italian government are clamping down on third party companies using bots to buy the official tickets from the official websites and then selling them on at inflated prices. That explains why it's "sold out". My advice to you is to either pay on the day for the Vatican museum (but get there at opening time). Or find a company that will sell you a ticket for near-enough face value. Please do not book a guided tour, most of them are terrible. You don't need a ticket to enter St Peter's Square & St Peter's Basilica. And if you want to climb the dome, you cannot book in advance anyway - you just pay at the entrance. Hope that helps?

@amandapalmer5986 3 місяці тому

Your video is very informative. My trip is not until late May and the official website says not available for booking that day for the Museum. Are they all sold out or have they not been released yet?

@UltimateBucketList 3 місяці тому

@@amandapalmer5986 thanks very much Amanda! Most likely, they've not released them yet, but if you find that closer to the time that tickets aren't available, either pay on the day or contact them directly. The last resort is to buy a ticket from these horrible third party companies that overcharge you.

I'm going to be in Vatican on Wednesday. Ugh bummer. Thank you for let us know about Basilica would be closed (does that mean , no climbing either)? At what time do they let people in? And r u sure I can get the ticket at the door? There are none on official website. And resale companies like 60$ per person

@UltimateBucketList Рік тому

The basilica sometimes is open on Wednesday morning, it all depends where they decide to hold the Papal audience, so my advice is for you to check anyway. St Peter's basilica is free to enter, as is the Papal Audience, you shouldn't be charged for these. The only thing you'll need to pay for is if you want to go to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, that's it.

@GeniaBy Рік тому

@Ultimate Bucket List yeah so how to get the ticket for sistine chapel? U said at the door, but everywhere online it says , it's not possible to buy tickets at the door, you have to purchase online in advance. But they been gone weeks prior to date

@UltimateBucketList Рік тому

@@GeniaBy I know that during busy periods, they tell you to book online only (like at Buckingham Palace). This is so that they manage the amount of people coming in. If there's nothing available online, that's unfortunate for you. I would suggest that you try the ticket office anyway to see if they have one or two tickets left, but it's a long shot.

I'm going to arrive from Florence by car, have lunch and go to the Vatican Museum. I found a ticket on the get your guide website (the official website is sold out), my question is, can I buy a ticket for 11am and enter at 12 or 1pm? Thanks!

@UltimateBucketList 3 місяці тому

If you've bought an 11:00am ticket and it's just an entry ticket (i.e. you're not on any guided tour), I don't see any reason why they wouldn't let you in?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to see just the Sistine Chapel and the Spiral Staircase on its own. you have to buy the museum ticket which allows you access to those things.

When visiting Saint Petersburg square Sistine Chapel for the Vatican museum are they timed do you have a certain amount of time that you can only spend in them also if not using a tour guide to explain things is it possible there is a recorded device that you can get a headset that explains things as you're walking through?

Do we pay to climb the dome on site? Is there any way to save time and purchase an online ticket for the same price?

@UltimateBucketList 10 місяців тому

Yes, you literally pay at the entrance. There is no website booking for this, as the queues are unpredictable. That said, not many people go up there anyway due to the length of the climb, so you'll be okay just showing up. Hope that helps?

@UltimateBucketList 5 місяців тому

In short: NHK funded the renovation of the Sistine Chapel in exchange for the image rights. This means that to take any photo or video, you have to ask permission (or pay) NHK. If you do not have permission from NHK (which all tourists don't), photography and videography is not allowed.

What did the NHK do in the Sistine Chapel?

NHK offered to fund the restoration of the Sistine Chapel in exchange for image rights. So no-one can take photos and videos of the Sistine Chapel without paying NHK first.
