The city is jam-packed with legions of tourists all the year round leaving little room to explore the magnificent city in peace.

Muse Over the Vatican Museum Taking your Time

The Vatican museum is the most popular spot in the Eternal City, entertaining around 6 million visitors annually; it is congested at all hours of the day, every day of the year. Being lost in a crowd of thousand can be a major turn off and mar one’s experience.

We suggest you book our Private Rome Night Tour, which we conduct on Fridays, from April to November. During this season, the Museum remains open till 11 pm with the last entrance at 9:30 pm. The later you go, the more you can have the museum to yourself. You can also opt for an early morning visit to the Vatican Museum, to enjoy a less rushed experience.

If you plan your visit to Rome during the summer, the Colosseum is bound to be a part of it, but be prepared to get smelly and sweaty. However, you can dodge all that, and fully enjoy your trip if you hit the Colosseum right at the break of the dawn with Vatican & Colosseum Tour.

Cherish the Offbeat Places

There are thousands of unknown gems to discover in Rome which are just as delightful as the popular places of Rome, if not more so. Try visiting Trastevere, Quartiere Coppedè, Central Montemartini, and other such neighborhoods.
