This is the official website to book entry tickets. It's very straight forward. http://biglietteriamusei.vatican.va/musei/tickets/do?weblang=en&do The Sistine Chapel is part of the museums so it is covered by your entry ticket. You cannot pay online anymore so all you do is make the reservation online and pay when you get to the Vatican. You will be sent a confirmation email which you take with you to the entrance of the museums. Once inside you go to the special desk to pay for the tickets. Your tickets allow you to skip the lines outside. Adults are 20 euros each. Donna

First you go through security, then you enter the ticketing area and entrance to the museums. When I was there, there was a separate (and much shorter) line through security for people with reservations. Be prepared to pay for the tickets in cash, they don't always take credit cards.

Is the cost of the ticket the same if it is reserved online versus bought on-site? Also, if reservations are made online, do they have to be for a specific day and/or time?
Thanks!

Hi I believe the price is the same, as you cannot pay online anymore, when you reserve it is giving me a month and year, I believe they send you an email closer to the date, with times etc.

There is a reservation fee for booking online. It brings the cost to 20 euros but allows you to bypass the lines outside which can be over an hour (sometimes 2) long. You must choose a date and time when you book online and the tickets are only good for that day. If you get there late for your reservation they have the right to make you wait in line. donna
