The Vatican Museums at night could put you in mind of the opening scenes of the Da Vinci Code film, but the possibility of visiting the Sistine Chapel and the rest of the masterpieces in the Vatican Museums at night is real.
You can enjoy the spaces and the works without having to queue, and in addition you get an unusual experience to add to your tour of Rome.
Every Friday from April through to October, the Vatican museums are open from 7 pm to 11 pm, with last entrance at 9:30 pm.
You can book tickets here for the Vatican Museums at night, which cost 31 euros for adults and 25 euros discounted.
The prices are a bit high, but apparently worth it to see the St Peter’s dome under starlight, and torchlight in the various courtyards of the Vatican.
Visitors also get the chance to see the Gregorian Egyptian museum.
