Know before you go

Timed entry slots are now used to manage numbers. Wear shoes with grip: the marble is slippery and uneven, and parts of the site are being restored.

What to book

A guided tour that includes skip-the-line entry, ideally first thing in the morning. A guide adds the history the signs do not.

What to check before you pay

  • Confirm the ticket is for a fixed time slot or is open-dated.
  • Check whether a guide, audio guide or extra areas are included.
  • Read the cancellation window – most partner tickets are refundable up to 24 hours before.
  • Look at where the meeting point is; some 'skip the line' products still start at a separate desk.
