Alleluja Alleluja, after I sang a 'Te Deum' I can inform the TA community about the new Vatican Museum schedule for 2008 season. So please take a note and make (eventually) adjustments to your trip plans. The very good new is that the new schedule (in theory) seems a try to prevent and cut the lines. The bad new is that only the qualified operators can make the reservations not the general public. Now the qualified operators have 8 time slots (1 hour each) to pick from and not just 2 (from 8am to 10am).
- The Museum opens everyday, all the year round at 8.30am and closes at 6pm. Last entrance is at 4pm.
- The entrance fee is 14 euros (ouch!). In case an agency / tour operator made the reservation for you the ticket is more expensive (18 euros). There is no chance for the agency / tour operator to make a cancellation, so be careful before booking if you are not 100% sure to go: they will ask you the refound anyway.
- Last Sun of each month is open and for free, from 8.30am to 2pm. Last entrance is at 12.30
- Closing days: Jan 1st; Feb 11th; Mar 19th & 24th; May 1st & 22nd; Aug 14th & 15th; Nov 1st; Dec 8th, 25th & 26th. Of course all the Suns with the exception of the last of each month.
I think that's all for the moment! Happy Vatican visit to all
Ciao Daniela
