Skip the confusion at the Vatican entrance. With this hosted entry, a friendly host meets you, assists through security, and makes sure you start your visit stress-free. Inside, enjoy your independent exploration of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

Enhance your visit with a multilingual audio guide available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Chinese – so you can understand the masterpieces in your own language.
