About this event
The Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel, open free of charge on the last Sunday of every month, from 9am with last entry at 12:30pm. Expect the biggest crowds of the month for this one - arrive early and be prepared to queue, since the free day draws far more visitors than a standard paid morning.
Why we picked it
One of Rome's single best free-admission days, covering one of the world's most significant art collections.
Free entry
'Every last Sunday of the month 09.00 a.m. - 02.00 p.m.', listed as free entry on the Vatican Museums' official tickets and rates page.
Registration
None - but expect very long queues; arrive well before opening
