You’ll be dealing with long lines throughout your visit to Rome, and things won’t be any different once you make it to the Vatican. The smallest country in the world also happens to be the busiest one, and here’s how you can make your visit a little less overwhelming.

Good Timing

Timing is everything when it comes to avoiding long lines in the Vatican. Plan your visit early in the morning or late in the evening, and try not going there on the weekends if you don’t want to be dealing with huge crowds.

Guided Tour

You’ll face many scammers offering ‘skip the line’ tickets, and you should avoid them at all costs. If you want these privileges, book a tour with a legitimate company online long before getting to the location.

Following the Rules

Wouldn’t it be terrible to wait in a line for an hour only to be turned away because you’re not dressed properly? Despite the fact it can be pretty warm in the Vatican during peak season, your knees and shoulders should be covered at all times.
