I saw you yesterday around The Pantheon. I’m visiting Rome and your videos have been so helpful to plan my trip. Thanks 😊
Small world! Thanks so much for letting me know you find my videos helpful!
That’s very helpful! Thank you for sharing 😄
Thanks so much for watching! I hope it helps, since this is a pretty big change!
Thank you for all the information on changes and updates!! Your videos are soooo very helpful!! ❤️
Thank you SO much for following and watching! I'm so glad you find the videos helpful - that's why I make them :)
Once again a great informative video no possible reason for missing out on seeing all the sights that you want to
Thank you Judy!! I appreciate your support! - Elyssa
Fabulous - thanks for the new strategies!
Thanks for watching! You gotta just adapt, it's the only way! :)
Great tour to see the rooms and the views of Rome.Thanks.
Thanks a lot for watching!
I'm from Rome and one day I gave a ride to some Americans visitors (a friend of mine told me to take them to the hotel, in front of the Vatican walls) they gave me a gift, a ticket for Vatican museum. I realized that I was the only Italian there, being visitors 90% foreigners. The sistine chapel was very crowded. A good experience. By the way a rule I remember, a guard at the entrance of the basilica told some Anglo speakers "no shorts for men". Often I realize that for tourists Saint Peter cathedral is like Disneyland and not a holy place.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hi Elyssa. Want you to know we love everything you share. Your videos are amazing and we need them more than ever now! Please keep them coming, you and the videos are relevant and essential to all of us. We will be back to Rome soon! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so so much Anne! You've really made my day! I love making the videos and am so glad you find them useful and interesting! :)
Great content with all the updates.
Thanks very much!
I love these videos you are doing and all the historic information you are telling us .Thank you
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying my videos!
Great video and information!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
I can’t wait to book a tour with you. I hope you are still doing this in the next 3 years.
That's very kind of you!
I love your videos!!!! I’m going to Rome in November the first time and your videos are amazing!
Thank you so much Jason! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. You may be interested in my Rome in November video. Have a great trip! - Elyssa
RomeWise I did a few times. But will see it a few times more I’m sure
Thank you for the great video. Can you bring a backpack into the museums and Basilica?
Thanks for watching! Yes, you can bring a "small" backpack inside, but if it's large, like luggage-size, then no. You can find more information on the Vatican Website here:
www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/organizza-visita/consigli-utili.html#guardaroba
We will be in Rome in early June, 10-13, we are so excited
Great! Have a wonderful trip!
I'll be in Rome in a matter of weeks - right then 7 am it is. I'm an early bird anyway, plus I want to see La Pieta without disturbance... I'm going to pinch myself when I'm there : ) oooooo lala... can't wait!!
Sounds like an excellent plan. You will love it, especially at 7am. :)
Excellent video! thank you for all of them!
Can i please ask your advice as we have never been. We have booked an official guided tour through vatican site for the museums. Can you please advice where we should head for first to gain access and how mich earlier should we arrive. Its for 9am.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching. I suggest you arrive at the entrance at about 8:40. Get inside, go through security, and then ask someone where to meet your guide. It's very easy I assure you! Have a great time!
Hey you are really helpful thank you very much. We will come in December and follow your advices. We will visit St.Peters at 7am and booked Vatican museums at 13:30pm. For Vatican what time we should arrive and wait?
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!
For the Vatican Museums you should arrive about half hour before your scheduled visit. And consider it takes around 15-20 minutes to get to the museums' entrance from Saint Peter's Square.
Hello! After climbing the Dome of St Peter's, do you exit into the Basilica? Or do you have to line up again?
Thanks for the great videos!! super useful
To climb the dome, you have to enter the area where Saint Peter's Basilica is. So you must go through security first. Once you do that, you may have a second line to wait in to climb the dome.
Once you come back down from the dome, you will find yourself right about where you came in and from there you can walk straight into Saint Peter's basilica without waiting in any more lines. The main line is the line for security and that's it!
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
Bel video anche te💓
Grazie
I have visited the Vatican Museum three times (about 20 hours inside). I expect I will visit it a dozen more, if I live long enough. It would take a lifetime to see all of the history and art in Rome, but the Vatican Museum is special. I recommend visiting St. Peter's at a different time than the Vat Museum. I am suffering from Stendhal syndrome when I leave the Museum anyway and can't seem to absorb any more art or sensation. The Capitoline Museum is next in importance in Rome, I think. But, the Galleria Borghese is the biggest punch for your walking time in Italy. There are four Bernini sculptures here that complete your final class in Italian Art. One then must graduate to the Borgello in Florence. Only then can one achieve the Uffizi without literally passing out. Italy is the treasure trove of civilization.
Thanks for your comments. I absolutely agree with you that the best way to visit the Vatican is by splitting up the visit over at least 2 days. The museum does indeed take over one's senses, and so does the Basilica, so they merit their own visits. I also love the Capitoline museums and the Galleria Borghese but also Palazzo Massimo, Palazzo Altemps, Doria Pamphilj, and many more. As the Romans say, a lifetime is not enough!
I hope you can come back to visit us here in Italy again very soon! Thank you again for watching and for your comments.
Hi Elyssa, thank you for the useful tips! I heard that backpack are not allowed to take into Colosseum. May I know your suggestion of what size the bag we should carry to those tourist spots esp. we are taking umbrella, water, sunblock all handful of stuffs? Also, I'm going to Rome in Mid August, in case i want to engage some evening concert, how will you suggest the traffic back to hotel? Is it safe if my show ends by around 10pm?
Hi and thanks for watching! Correct, you are not allowed to bring LARGE backpacks into the Colosseum or Vatican. A regular backpack, like the kind college students use, is fine. They are referring to over-sized backpacks like the kind for camping. You can bring in normal things like the items you mention. If your backpack is over-sized, you may simply be asked to check it at the Vatican, but at the Colosseum, there is no place to check bags.
I don't know where you are staying or where you want to go to a concert but in general, Rome is a pretty safe city for tourists. I personally take taxis but there may not be a taxi stand near your concert. You can take public transportation if you prefer. It depends on where you are and where you are going.
@@Romewise Thank you Elyssa for your tips!
Thanks for the information. I think I will just visit the basilica when I go to Rome.
Thanks for watching! That's certainly a good option. There is so much to see inside the basilica. You will love it!
@@Romewise Thanks. Is there any other places around there to see. . I heared all the main sights in Rome are in walkable distance
@@tarny11 If you are asking if there are sites to see near Saint Peter's basilica, you can see Castel Sant'Angelo. You can also easily walk across one of the bridges and into more central parts of Rome.
@@Romewise That's great . How much to enter the castle. .I'm thinking of 5 days in Rome. That should be enough to see the main sights.
@@tarny11 The castle currently costs 14€. You may want to visit my website where you can start with a 3-day itinerary.
www.romewise.com/rome-in-3-days.html
hi great video again!. We visit on Saturday and Sunday and its fully booked online for Saturday. What would you recommend as we really dont want to waste half a day sitting in a line? :(
You can do several things:
Skip the museums and just visit the basilica on Sunday.
Go through a ticket vendor like Tiqets or Ticketbar and buy tickets that way.
Book a tour.
If you don’t visit the Vatican museums I suggest the capitoline museums. Enjoy!
just went on tiqets and they have "skip the line for vatican museum and sistine" for 29 euro each @ 3pm. Is this company okay? and would there be a huge line at 3pm?
@@Romewise
Yes, Tiqets is a trusted reseller. They simply resell the same tickets you would have bought directly if there had been any left. It costs a bit more but it's secure.
There is almost always a line/crowd at the Vatican. But if you buy these tickets, you will skip the biggest line and mostly just have to go through security.
Enjoy!
thank you! so helpfull! @@Romewise
Nice video ..one question ..7 in the Saint Peter's Basilica..up the steers ..and then in vatican ..what time to close the ticket for the vatican??11:00 it is ok you think?
Hello Petros and thank you for watching my video. I am not sure what you are asking. Saint Peter's Basilica closes at 7pm in the summer and at 6:30pm in the winter. There is no ticket to get in. It's free.
The Vatican Museums, on the other hand, open at 9am and close at 6pm, Monday - Saturday. They are closed Sunday unless it's the last Sunday of the month when it's free. Then it's open 9am - 2:30pm.
Please visit the website for all my tips about visiting the Vatican:
www.romewise.com/visiting-the-vatican.html
If you don't find what you are looking for, please feel free to write back - Elyssa
I did the shortcut today but to be fair there were little to no lines all day. (Tuesday/December) brought a skip the line pass didn’t need it at all
Hello Peter and thanks for watching and for sharing your experience. It's true that in very low season, you could 1) probably just show up and not book tickets in advance and 2) take the shortcut into Saint Peter's, depending on who is standing guard there.
Glad you were able to take the shortcut anyway! I always say to try it, you never know.
Hi Elyssa
Would you say that visiting the Basilica on a Sunday morning at 8am is less busy than visiting during the week before 8am ?
I’m thinking early morning Basilica and on another day doing a 4.30pm Vatican tour. I can’t seem to find the extra time tour you mentioned in another video that means you enter the Sistine chapel as everyone is leaving giving the guide time to discuss the Sistine Chapel almost empty or should we just go as late as possible ?
Actually this is one of my secret tips! On Sundays when the Pope is in town, he gives the Angelus in Saint Peter's Square. And on that day, the security moves to the outer colonnade to check everyone bel are in the square, you can just go right in to the basilica.
My second secret tip is that if you go inside the basilica at noon when the Pope gives the Angelus, you will be almost alone in there for those 15 minutes, as most people will be outside in the square.
So yes, this is a great plan! Have a wonderful trip!
Hi! Just want to ask the January holidays in Rome usually till when are they close for the holiday especially January? Colosseum, Vatican, Pisa etc. pls help me to plan. Its my 1st time in Rome. Thank u
Hello Joana, I think I've answered you already on Facebook but for those who might want to know:
Things are not closed in January. On January 1 you may find some sites closed but otherwise, the first week of January is peak season in Rome.
www.romewise.com/rome-in-january.html
You can find lots more help with your trip by browsing the site.
Elyssa
Yes u did answer me in your facebook , thank you for the information especially me a first timer in Rome 😊
How intensive is the security check? Should I avoid having a daypack with laptop etc with me?
It's like going through airport security. You'll have to put your bag and coat through a scanner. Over-sized backpacks (like for camping) are not allowed, but normal-sized bags are. You could have a laptop if you want to carry it with you, but there is also a coat-check.
What time would you recommend visiting the Basilica in March?
I assume crowds are not an issue during covid season anyway, but what about the morning light?
Hi John and thanks for watching. Assuming we are not talking about crowds (there won't be any this March, but there probably will be in March 2022, we hope!), I still suggest going as early as you can. The light is so beautiful in the mornings. But you could also go in the afternoon, say around 3-4pm. In March this is just a few hours before sunset and the light is beautiful then, also.
@@Romewise thanks!
Could you please help me and let me know if my Husband needs to wear long trousers also?
I have a video coming to the channel soon about this. The Vatican and other holy sites have a requirement for covered knees and covered shoulders. This being said, I have often seen men in bermuda-length shorts but there is no guarantee a given Vatican guard will let you in. I would suggest hiking pants with removable legs. They have a zipper and you just take the legs off and can walk around in shorts and then put the legs back on for visiting the Vatican.
Where would you suggest buying tickets for Vatican and Sistine chapel if the Vatican website is sold out?
Hello Kim,
I have pages about this on the website:
www.romewise.com/vatican-museum-tickets.html
www.romewise.com/visit-the-sistine-chapel.html
Here is a direct link to my preferred reseller:
www.tiqets.com/en/vatican-museums-tickets-l145158/?partner=romewise&tq_campaign=yt-vatican
Hope that helps!
Elyssa
If I want to visit the tomb, Basilica and museum and don't have time constraints, would it make sense to make two visits?
- One to the museum only
- One to the tomb and Basilica
Hi John, I have pages about this on the website. You may want to check this one:
www.romewise.com/visiting-the-vatican.html#planning-vatican-visit
Hi Elyssa, is it possible to buy a "skip-the-line" ticket if you're NOT part of a tour?
Basically all tickets you purchase in advance are "skip-the-line." Bear in mind that everyone must go through a line for security.
www.romewise.com/vatican-museum-tickets.html
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the update. I've been chasing the door/tour scenario for 2 months and concluded that it was a no tour-no door situation. It makes my blood boil a bit to see tour vendors tout St Peter's easy entry tours.
Yes that's correct, now the ONLY way to get the shortcut is with a tour guide.
Do you know if you can take pics? As of very recently?
You are allowed to take photos and video (no tripods allowed) in most of Saint Peter's Basilica (with some exceptions, such as in the grottoes and where the Eucharist is kept).
The same is true for the Vatican Museums with one major exception - the Sistine Chapel. You are not allowed to take photos there.
However, you may notice that on my channel I have some videos that include the Sistine Chapel. I also have pages on my website with photos I took inside the Sistine Chapel.
So the longer answer is that if you are inside the Sistine Chapel for a special event or moment, such as I was when i took mine, you MAY be allowed to take photos and video.
My opinion is that it is not about copyright or flash or the chapel being a sacred space, but rather about crowd control.
The bottom line is that in most cases, they will not allow you to take photos inside the Sistine Chapel. If you take one of the special off-hour tours as I have shown on this channel, you MIGHT be allowed, but that is up to the guide and the guards. I know this is a long answer. I hope it helps!
@@Romewise thank you! That was very helpful for my trip.
I know tripod is not allowed inside the basilica, vatican museum, and colloseum but if I have my tripod for my cellphone on my backpack. Are there storage lockers before or after the security line to leave my tripod? Thanks.
Yes there is free storage at both the basilica and Vatican museums where you can keep your tripod until after your visit.
@@Romewise thanks
@@Romewise One more question, I purchased the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tickets from their official site. I have the qr code from the confirmation email. Do I just go upfront to the guard and show my qr code to go to the security line and pickup my paper tickets? I saw videos of the queu around the entire building. I was wondering if that line is for purchasing tickets.
@@MuffieMuff When you arrive at the entrance, look for the line for people who HAVE tickets. That will be a much shorter line than the one you see wrapping around the museum walls. Then you may have to wait in a short line to go through security but once past security, you just have to go to the window to change your qr code into a printed ticket. It's very easy, I promise!
@@Romewise Will definitely do that. Thanks!!!
How do I book a guide tour with you.
Please write to elyssa@romewise.com
went went to rome and my grandmother want to see the vatican and i refused to go there is something wrong with charging to get into a holy place temples and churches should be open to the people without payment.
It is free to visit Saint Peter's basilica (the church) but the Vatican Museums, like most museums, do charge an entry fee. Although they also offer one free Sunday each month.
it's A nice instructions for a foreigners! I waste many time visting this place! it's not worth it.😂 first, go to sisi chapel and Raphael room and get out and walk to san Peters, which need to wait in line (half an hour)
😂
Thanks for watching and for your feedback!
💖😘🥰😍💙❤Vatikan❤💙😍🥰😘💖
Keep it this way till we come. We have a more than 1400-year divine promise to conquer Rome!
Have a great visit!
@@Romewise
It's more than a visit!
Can you talk any faster. Slow down
Thank you so much for your constructive critique. I will work on this in my next videos.
