Why booking in advance?
The Vatican is one of the most popular attractions in Rome, with millions visiting it each year. It is also famous for its long waiting lines at the entrance. If you don’t buy your ticket ahead of time, you should expect to spend up to 2 hours waiting in line – or even longer in high season!
If you book your ticket in advance, it will allow you to skip the line and go straight to the security check. Yes, you will pay a small booking fee, but would you rather spend more time visiting the museums, or wait in a long line under the sun?
