How to reach

Tips

  • The chapel is a Catholic church so appropriate attire and decorum are required. Wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
  • Try to maintain the religious serenity by keeping your voice low.
  • Though photography (without flash) is permitted in the Vatican Museums, no photography is allowed inside the Sistine Chapel.
