The Vatican is a unique Italian holiday attraction, nowhere else has anything like it. Now is the time to get inside.
This is a good time to visit the interior of the Vatican as Saint Peter’s square is embarking on a full scale clean up over the next two years, so to make your trip to one of Rome’s principal sites worthwhile I suggest you visit the interior.
The works of art inside the Vatican are legendary and the whole Vatican City (the smallest state in the World) complex is fascinating. If you are religious or not this is one of the best attractions on the planet not just in Italy.
For more information view the website Vatican.va where you will find full information on all the Papal activity programmed, the museums, including opening hours, prices and you can even buy tickets online.
Visiting the Vatican requires some patience as often there are long queues to gain entry, sometimes taking as much as two hours. As long as you are prepared for the wait its acceptable as its worth it.
We have a magnificent choice of Italy villas for you to choose from. Our villas in Lazio are the best option for those wishing to visit the Vatican but you can still do so by train (there is a station at St Peters Square) even from a Tuscany holiday villa as the rail network is very good and reasonably priced.
