Visiting the Vatican City in Rome

A TIP for visiting the Vatican City: 1. Book online in advance for a tour! Good to know more history and background of the church if you’re a avid history fan. And you get to skip the queues!! 2. If you want to avoid big queues try to get there before 10am, or after 3pm. Earlier is generally better. Around lunchtime, in peak season, you’ll be waiting more than an hour to get through security and there’s very little shade, be warned! The queues are always snaking long. I went there at 8am and the queues was till the exit signage but thankfully, the security was pretty efficient so I didn’t get to wait too long and the queue moved pretty fast too! But then, it actually depends on your luck! It will be more crowded during festive periods like Easter Sunday/Christmas! DRESS CODE: no shorts, slippers or tops too revealing that exposes your cleavage etc! you will be denied entry if so. Even if you’re not a Catholic, please respect the religion!
