Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Skip-the-Line Tour

For most first-time visitors, yes. This is the only Vatican skip-the-line option in our ranked list that covers all three sites in one go: the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica, with a guide who handles entry for the group. It matters because the guided route takes the internal passage from the Sistine Chapel through to the Basilica, so you never rejoin the security queue on St Peter's Square. From €60, rated 4.6 out of 5 by 10,483 verified travellers.

If you only want the Museums and Sistine Chapel and are happy going at your own pace, the cheaper Vatican Museums skip-the-line entry ticket from €41 does the queue-jumping without the guide.
