About this event
On the last Sunday of each month the Vatican Museums admit visitors at no cost, Sistine Chapel included. It is the single busiest free ticket in Rome, so the queue along the Viale Vaticano forms long before opening and closing time is earlier than on a normal day.
Why we picked it
The Sistine Chapel for nothing, once a month, and 30 August is the August date.
Free entry
Turismo Roma states that on 30 August, as every last Sunday of the month, the Musei Vaticani can be visited 'a costo zero' (at no cost).
