- Please arrive at the ticket redemption point at Vicolo del Farinone 23 at least 20–30 minutes before your scheduled time. Your booking confirmation/voucher is not the official entrance ticket and must be exchanged at our office before the visit. Our staff will assist you and help the group reach the Vatican Museums entrance on time.
- Entrance tickets are issued in the visitor’s name. Please make sure the name provided during booking matches the visitor’s valid ID or passport. Incorrect names may result in refused admission, and corrections may not always be possible after booking.
- Reserved entry helps provide more organized access to the Vatican Museums but does not bypass mandatory security checks. All visitors must pass airport-style security screening, and waiting times may vary depending on crowd levels and Vatican security procedures.
