The Sistine Chapel, Empty.
Out-of-hours access to the Vatican Museums begins at 7:30am, before the public arrives. We coordinate the permit, the art historian, and the Mercedes S-Class that meets you at the hotel.
A Permit, A Historian, A Quiet Sistine
The Vatican Museums receive 6 million visitors per year. The line in April reaches four hours. For our principals, that line does not exist. We hold one of approximately 12 weekly permits issued by the Governorate of Vatican City State for out-of-hours access.
Visit duration: 2.5 hours. Group size: up to 6 guests. Languages: English, French, Italian, Arabic, Russian (advance request). Coffee in the Cortile della Pigna courtyard included — alone, before the public arrives.
