I have a booking to see the Vatican museums June 30th at 1:30 pm. I was wondering what time I should show up and what to expect. I imagine there’s will be a line to get in but will I be waiting in line forever even with a booked time slot?

Hello Everyone!

I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Vatican City. 🙂

If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or a small souvenir. 

(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)

This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.

If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.

Thank you so much in advice, and warm greetings from Singapore! 

🇸🇬🤝🇻🇦

Salvete omnes!

Singapore discipulus sum et postcards colligendis fruor. Pergratum mihi esse cupio accipere tabellarios alicunde in Civitate Vaticana. 🙂

Si postcarda in promptu non sunt, etiam vere cognoscerem card, card genericum, vel parvum mnemosynum. 

(sicut clavis, petra, localis quaerunt, vexillum, ornamentum, pileus, subucula, vel fabrica ancilla)

This is for my collection personal, and not for any commercial purpose.

Si iuvare vis, commentarium relinquas et meam electronicam electronicam tecum communicabo.

Gratias tibi tantum in consilio, et ex Singapore salutationes calidae!

Ciao a tutti!

Sono uno studente di Singapore e mi piace collezionare cartoline. Sarei molto grato se ricevessi cartoline da qualsiasi parte della Città del Vaticano. 🙂

Se le cartoline non sono disponibili, apprezzerei molto anche un biglietto di auguri, un biglietto generico o un piccolo souvenir. 

(come un portachiavi, una roccia, uno spuntino locale, una bandiera, un ornamento, un berretto, una maglietta o un oggetto fatto a mano)

Questo è per la mia collezione personale e non per scopi commerciali.

Se sei disposto ad aiutare, lascia un commento e condividerò con te il mio indirizzo postale.

Grazie mille per i consigli e cordiali saluti da Singapore!

Has anyone booked the official Vatican Museums guided tour in Italian/Spanish just because regular entry tickets were sold out?

My partner and I really want to buy directly from the official Vatican website instead of paying crazy third-party prices (some are almost USD180 for 2 people 😭).

The cheaper official options left are guided tours in Italian or Spanish, but we only speak English.

Has anyone here booked those tours anyway just to get entry, then explored on your own after entering? Did the guides care if you left after the first part of the tour?

Not trying to be disrespectful — just wondering how strict it actually is because the resale prices are insane for June.

Would love to hear real experiences before I book!

Hoi iedereen!

Binnenkort houd ik mijn spreekbeurt over Vaticaanstad. De basisdingen (zoals dat het het kleinste land ter wereld is en dat de Paus er woont) heb ik natuurlijk al gevonden, maar ik wil mijn klas echt iets bijzonders vertellen.

Ik ben op zoek naar twee dingen:

1. Unieke feitjes: Hebben jullie van die 'wist-je-datjes' die je niet op de eerste pagina van Google vindt? Bijvoorbeeld over de Zwitserse Garde, de geheime archieven of de munteenheid?
2. Eigen ervaringen: Ben je er zelf wel eens geweest? Wat viel je op wat je niet in de reisboekjes leest? Had je bijvoorbeeld een gekke ontmoeting of zag je iets opvallends?

Ik hoor het heel graag, alle hulp is welkom!

I recently visited Rome and the Vatican City for the first time. While in the Sistine Chapel a restricted door opened from the other side and I glimpsed what I can only remember as blue with marbel angel statues holding back curtains above a long corridor. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I have looked everywhere for months to find out where that door led and how I could visit that place. It was opposite the door we entered at the far end of the hall, and the exit door was to the left of it. Does anyone know? Thank you

We are so excited to learn that we will be in Rome on a Wednesday morning and will be able to attend a Papal Audience! We do need to book our train tickets to leave immediately afterwards though, as we were supposed to leave earlier that morning, but want to stay now for the audience. I keep reading that it lasts from 1-2 hours, but I don’t know if that’s from when he arrives at 9:00 or when he starts speaking at 10:00. Can someone please tell me approximately what time it will end? We’re taking the train to Florence immediately afterwards, so the train tickets will be less expensive if I can book them in advance, but I need to know what time to book. Thank you so much!

They're honestly pretty cool! If I was swiss I would definitely join them.

I placed my order on a Friday, it was blessed two days later at the Angelus, and on the following Friday it was delivered. Price, quality and service were top notch. I recommend VG to all, without hesitation!

My friend took a tour a couple years ago with this guide but doesn’t remember her name but raved about her. Does anyone recognize her?

Hello!!

My friends and I are traveling to Rome in June.

We are conflicted between self guided tours or tour guides for the Colosseum and Vatican.

Want honest opinions and recs please!

TIA 😊

Hi all, my name is Michael, a Greek-American author writing a book published by Penguin Random House for January 2027.

The book is called The Happiest Moment of Your Life. The premise is that I personally visited every country in the world (195 UN members) and interviewed people about happiness, asking them "What is the happiest moment of your life?" I'm seeking any current OR former Vatican citizen for this brief, one question interview.

Here and here is a little press about my trip and book to verify my story.

Please DM me or message below for more details!

Can anyone help me with what the circled items in the photo of St Peter's?

It's vatican Really neutral like in a switzerland kinda of Way or it's is Just a Peaceful country that doesn't want to get involved Very often?

We are all 20 souls born under that dome painting man and God. We are the only ones born at 4 months minus 4 days. The same day of birth as God Mohamed..Mohamed.was not a prophet or Jesus nor Abraham, it was the same person delivered always by the virgin Mary highest graded Angel. His name has always been Mohamed. In this life time.Mohamed was delivered by wasakha, the worst mother in History and the worst and meanest woman across the planet. Whoever talks to her, eats with her,, sleeps.beside her or in the same house is cursed.

Hi all, I'm seeking any current Vatican citizens for a very brief one question written interview about the subject of happiness. In short, I'm collecting responses from every UN sovereign nation and need one from the Holy See for a book I'm publishing. It's nothing political or controversial and should take all of ten minutes.

Please DM me or message below for more details!

IT'S MY FIRST COIN FROM VATICAN.
