Tours go fast and you are worried continuesly on where our guide has gone ! DONT TAKE A TOUR ! Long wait though so buy tickets online 24h in advance to skip the line ! There are explanations all around ! A guide just want to be done with the tour and get on withthe next one
You don't need to buy a ticket outside. The church is free but you must cover shoulders and knees. You do have to pay for the dome if you choose to do it and I'd recommend the 10€ tickets which take you part way up in the lift before the 300+ stair climb! Take water!
Far too busy. Total and utter nightmare. No way you could look at anything without being barged, have people walk in front of you. It would be wonderful, but the day turned out to be nothing but stressful.
If you hon sunday to attend the Angelus arrive a few minutes early. There is a large crowd and you have to pass through a security scanner to get into the square. We did not go I to the Vatican on this trip too hot and too many other tourist. I am glad we went and experienced it though. I plan on going again in cooler weather.
Buy something in the shops and ask if they have any Vatican coins!! They are euro but made specific for the Country of the Vatican so are the rarest coinage. Some people pay up to $25 to own one of the coins! You just might get lucky.. we did! Also HIKE the 585 steps to the top of the dome!!
It is a good idea to buy "skip the line" tour tickets because it takes over two hours if you try to do it without a tour. Better if you eat before entering since the restaurant inside is expensive and the food is not very good. The place takes over 4 to 6 hours to see, so wear comfortable shoes. Very crowded and not very good for small children.
check out the hotels for your ideal location, you get very good value for money from smaller hotels/ bed and breakfast/ guest houses etc. Use the hop on hop off buses, buy tickets to the main tourist attractions in advance, unless you like to wait in line a lot! Vatican is manic, I went in March and it was starting to get busy, I can imagine it would be very hot and uncomfortable in the height of the season.
If you take the time to go through the streets north of the Vatican you can find many small stores where the locals shop. As well as the popular brands and designer labels these streets are full of market stalls with lots of bargains and lovely small deli's and cafes that sell many wonderful local goodies. Great restaurants in this area too, well worth spending a few hours of the day finding a treasure or two.
Get a 48-hour pass on one of the "hop on, hop off" sightseeing bus services. Many of them also offer "skip the line" tickets for certain sights. These tickets are worth every cent. There are tourists waiting in long lines everywhere, which will waste a lot of your time and energy. Rome is an intense tourist destination with much to see. Plan well, do research and be prepared to spend extra on special services. You will need at least 5 days to a week to truly see most of the major landmarks. Just the Vatican Museum offers so much that you could easily spend 3 days inside and still not truly see most of it.
As it's Rome there will always be tourists everywhere but DO NOT go with any tour group guaranteeing to skip lines, the queues are never as bad as they look. We were told a "5 hour queue for Vatican and the Sistine chapel" but if we joined a tour we can go straight in...for a €50 fee. We opted out and queued and were in and out of the Vatican, Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel within 2.5 hours all for a quarter of the price (student and EU citizen discounts). The same goes for the colosseum. Go at your own pace and avoid the scammers. The hotel had basic tourist maps which were perfect and we easily found our way. But we did find there were always less people between 12-1 as they had gone to find food by then.
The Colisseum and the Vatican are probably the main attractions, but there are dozens of monuments, museums, gallaries, fountains and churches that all offer a piece of ancient or modern history. Even the roads and walls and buildings seem to tell a story about one of the most preserved ancient cities in the world.
Money buys comfort buys efficiency buys quality. The Roma & Vatican passes were what made the history come alive as they get you in fast. We walked inside the Colloseum & the Vatican within 10 minutes of arriving!!!!
“Room size and comfort, cleanliness was great. Not my favorite area of Rome but a great location if you want to explore the Jewish Ghetto or the Vatican. We had a late checkout and hotel staff was great about storing our luggage and letting us tour around for the day.”
“Great location and very close to the Vatican and other tourist ddestinations. Very close to bus as well as Metro Services. The manager was great and friendly. The price was very reasonable. Rooms were clean and upgraded. Overall, strongly recommend this hotel to people who are vissiting Rome.”
“Great location! Centrally located between the Vatican City and the shopping district. Great neighborhood with many local restaurants and coffee shops. We loved happy hour. Free wine and food between 1830-2000. We didn’t stay in the main hotel but a separate building. Room was perfect for a Rome trip because we only needed it to sleep. Hotel staff was super nice and courteous. This place was a great value and we would stay again.”
“The staff, location close to the Vatican, the neighborhood was good for walking and good restaurants. The staff were very accommodating, gave us good suggestions of where to eat, and made transportation easy for us. I liked the hotel being on a hill, enjoyed the room and outside terrace, and I wanted an authentic hotel, which this is. We stayed there before and after our cruise, and I’ll book there again when I return to Rome.”
“Very close to the Vatican city , area was fairy clean and safe. hotel owner was very good to us and very honest person.could maybe have showers a little larger and cleaner.. But this is Rome most hotels are small.”
