A Vatican Museums ticket covers both the museum collections and the Sistine Chapel, but only on the day it is issued. Booking on the official museum website adds Skip the Line entry for a booking fee on top of the standard price. The trade-off is that tickets cannot be refunded, so a booked day is a fixed day. Entry is also free on the last Sunday of the month, subject to the museum’s calendar of openings and closures. Disabled visitors, and a companion, are guaranteed priority entry without queuing.
