Rome Travel Destination Tips and Info | Christimas Skip The Line Vatican Tour Info and Tips by Vatican Rome Tours

Planning to spend Christmas in Rome, Italy? Looking for a family friendly Vatican Rome Tour with skip the line entrance? More than 4 million people visit the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica every year, and if you have not planned ahead then three-hour waits are not uncommon. But do not worry as it is possible to avoid the massive line.

Vatican Rome Tours Inc. advices to book Vatican Museum tickets online through the Vatican's website, the admission price is Euros 14 plus a Euros 4 booking fee, about $25 total per person.

By pre-booking this ticket you can bypass the long lines to enter the Museums. These special Vatican tickets include the standard ticket price plus fast-track access fee.
Please note that all visitors must pass through metal detectors at the security check point, so please expect to wait 10-20 minutes to clear security.

Vatican Rome Tours Inc. second suggestion is that whatever time of year you visit you choose to visit the Vatican Museums, you should try to avoid the mornings except on Wednesday when the Pope holds the Papal Audience in St. Peter's Square leaving the Vatican Museums much less crowded. On the other hand due to the weekly Papal Audience during which access to St. Peter's Basilica could be closed there is the possibility that you will be unable to include St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square.

If you dislike the crowd Vatican Rome Tours Inc. last advice is to pay extra for a private guided Vatican tour, but choose carefully because tour prices vary widely.
The Vatican also offers two-hour guided tours for $42 per person, including admission fee, but they can be crowded, with as many as 50 people per group. For a more intimate visit, book with a well- established private tour company. There are a lot of tour operators in Rome, so look around for the best deal.
