St Peter’s Security Check

Skip-the-line tickets are essential to visit top sights in Rome such as the Vatican Museum with the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, and Borghese Gallery while only some tours will give priority access to St Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

Admission to St Peter’s Basilica is free and does not require a ticket but lines at security are often very long and slow-moving. Skip-the-line timeslot-reservation tickets are not sold and guided tours of the basilica have no special fast-track entrance, except when visiting the Vatican Museum first.
