About this event
On the last Sunday of each month the Vatican Museums — including the Sistine Chapel — open with free admission to all, from 9am with last entry at 12:30pm. It's the one regular chance to see Michelangelo's ceiling and the Raphael Rooms without a ticket, so early arrival is essential to beat the substantial queues.
Why we picked it

Free entry
Free entry for all on the last Sunday of the month, confirmed via Turismo Roma; standard on the Vatican Museums calendar.
