This very special, priviledged visit to the Vatican is organized just for your group after the Museums close to the general public (usually around 6.30 pm). Every day thousands of people visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Our After-hours visits let you experience the Vatican Museums as you always wanted – without the noisy and pushy crowds. Your group’s visit to the Museums will be an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Authorized Vatican Museums’ guides will lead your group through the imposing hallways to see the priceless masterpieces that are housed therein. The 3-hour tour is led in the language (or languages) of your choice. If your group has any special interests or would like to focus on certain sections of the Museums please let us know as your guides will personalize the tour just for you.

The After-hours visit includes a stop in the world-famous Sistine Chapel. Picture your group alone in the silence of the captivating Sistine Chapel. This is the perfect atmosphere for contemplating Michelangelo’s bold frescoes – among the most famous and important artworks in the world.

Gala Dinner at the Vatican Museums: for special requests, and with the authorization of the Vatican, Gala dinners can be organized inside the Museum. This very distinguished service is arranged for businesses as a formal affair that follows an After-hours visit to the Vatican. These dinners are catered to your request and make for a prestigious and exclusive event.

Cost: please send an email to info@rome-museum.com with your request specifiying the date, the number of people in your group and what type of service you would like to organize (After-hours visit with or without Gala dinner), and we will respond with the cost for your party and additional details. In calculating the cost of the service, the number of people in your party are taken into account as the Vatican must supply a certain number of security personnel depending on the number of visitors.


Important Note: this service is recommended for very exclusive events or conventions that are organized by large businesses or groups. Because this service is exclusive and highly requested, all requests must be received sent as far in advance as possible. The minimum advance request time is 2 months. The After-hours visit starts in the late afternoon, after the closure of the Vatican Museums to the public.
