issue of rain did not represent any discomfort, the tears of joy for our
presence was evident.

I definitely recommend escorted entrance! The price is so reasonable, service is
friendly and easy to find, and you’re escorted passed the hundreds in queue to
go straight through the entrance. Once in, the friendly guide explains the
process (the entrance area is like a full airport security check) and then helps
you navigate the maze to the areas you’re most interested in. We wouldn’t have
enjoyed the experience as much without this service. Nga mihi (thank you from a
couple of New Zealanders)

Do you need a passport for the Vatican Museums?

A passport is not required to enter the Vatican Museums. Vatican City, including
the museums, is considered an independent city-state, and visitors can enter
without border controls.

Can I tour the Vatican on my own?

Absolutely. You have the option to tour the Vatican independently by securing
advance tickets, obtaining a map at the entrance, and possibly using an audio
guide for additional insights. On the other hand, opting for a guided tour
provides a more comprehensive experience, with expert commentary, historical
context, and insider information about the artworks and historical sites.

Can you go back to Vatican Museum after Sistine Chapel?

Once you exit the Sistine Chapel, you are directed towards the exit of the
Vatican Museums, and re-entry is not allowed. The path from the Sistine Chapel
leads visitors directly to the exit, and there is typically no way to revisit
other sections of the museums after leaving the chapel. Therefore, it’s
advisable to ensure you have seen all desired areas within the Vatican Museums
before entering the Sistine Chapel, as there is usually no option to go back
after exiting that specific part of the tour route.
