The good news is that you can visit the Sistine Chapel for free! The Vatican Museums, which include the Sistine Chapel, offer free entry on the last Sunday of every month.
🕘 Opening Hours: 09:00 – 14:00 (last entry at 12:30)
📅 When: The last Sunday of each month, except when it falls on major holidays such as Easter Sunday, June 29 (Feast of Saints Peter and Paul), December 25 (Christmas), or December 26 (St. Stephen’s Day).
Keep in mind that free entry days tend to attract large crowds. If you’d rather avoid long lines and enjoy a more relaxed visit, consider booking a skip-the-line Vatican ticket — you’ll save hours and still get to experience the Sistine Chapel at its best.
