Choose a visit by its named scope. The museum collections, Vatican Gardens, Castel Gandolfo and Via Triumphalis appear as distinct visit categories. The place you want to see should appear in the product you book.

Rooms with special arrangements

The Niccoline Chapel, original Bramante Staircase and Cabinet of Masks have been offered through special guided arrangements for areas normally closed. Check the current offer for the named room before planning around it. Follow the ordinary museum route unless your booking explicitly includes special access.

Other institutions and sites

The Vatican Library's research reading rooms use a scholar admission process. The Lateran Apostolic Palace is another site in Rome. St Peter's Basilica has its own access and visit products. Choose those arrangements separately rather than treating their names as extra rooms on the museum map.
