At the end of the description, you will take place in your exclusive and reserved seat, to attend the Papal Audience. This is not a religious celebration, but a meeting occasion dedicated to devotees and pilgrims, who can meet Pope Francis and receive his blessing. Aboard the Popemobile, the Pope will tour the square departing from the Arch of the Bells; along the path, he will make several stops to greet and embrace the attendees. The duration of the audience is about 1 hour and a half.

What are the best tours in Vatican City?

There are plenty of high-quality tours and experiences in Vatican City. According to previous travelers, here are the best tours to book right now:

Are guided tours in Vatican City worth it?

Yes, guided tours in Vatican City are worth it. Instead of waiting to get inside St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, you'll skip the lines with your guide and hear valuable historical insights that you'd miss during an independent visit. Tours cover the artistic masterpieces inside the basilica and Vatican Museums, but they also help you escape the crowds and explore other parts of Vatican City that other travelers overlook.

Per one customer who booked the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Basilica Guided Tour, "Wonderful experience! There is so much to see and take in, but our guide did an excellent job of highlighting the must-sees while maneuvering through the expansive museum. We zipped right through the lines, despite massive throngs of people. St. Peter's is absolutely stunning—don't miss going below to the grotto. Highly recommend this tour and experience."

How much do Vatican City tours cost?

Prices vary for Vatican City tours. Audio guides start from US$10, but they don't include admission to ticketed sites such as the Vatican Museums. Tours of St. Peter's Basilica, which is free to visit on your own, start at US$50, while guided skip-the-line visits to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums go for upwards of US$80. Private Vatican City tours cost at least US$250.

A popular tour at the lower end of the price range is the Skip-the-Line: Vatican & Sistine Chapel Ticket With Audio Guide. The US$50 package includes fast-track tickets to the Vatican Museums at the time of your choice, though you'll explore the Sistine Chapel independently with an audio guide. More expensive tours, such as the Skip-the-Line Private: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's tour for US$425, let you jump the line for St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums—and ask your private guide as many questions about the artwork as you like.

What activities are included on Vatican City tours?

Vatican City walking tours highlight the wealth of artwork inside the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica. You'll admire Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and La Pietà sculpture, as well as Gian Lorenzo Bernini's architecture in the grand St. Peter's Square. Depending on your tour, you may also climb to the top of the basilica's cupola or join the papal audience.

Consider an all-day or multi-day tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible. For example, the Best of Rome: Vatican & Colosseum Guided Tour takes you on a full-day excursion not only to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, but also to Eternal City headliners such as the Roman Forum and Colosseum—with visits to the arena floor and gladiator gate.
