TICKETS FOR GALLERIES, MUSEUMS AND TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN ITALY - NEWS

April 2008 and Vatican Tours - Another year, and still there are issues. In the past we used to recommend booking tours in the morning - not so now. Several enormous tour operators have begun to block-book the early morning tours, and are being allowed to do so; consequently, the Vatican has started to shunt forward other early morning tours, sometimes by one or two hours. They don't always do this, but if they do they'll do so with total disregard to previously booked dates. Should this occur, and should it affect one of our bookings, we will give notice, via email, at least 15-20 days before the tour date.
We are therefore now advising that you try to opt for afternoon tours, where there is less chance of timings being shifted. Note we said less chance - the Vatican does what the Vatican wants, and there can be no absolute guarantees. Please also note that we would recommend avoiding Saturday if at all possible - some level of queueing seems inevitable if the first few months of 2008 are anything to go by.

February 2008 - Please note that between the 25th and 31st of March 2008 it is the 'Settimana della Cultura', an annual event that sees all Italian museums waive their entrance fees. If you are visiting during this period please note that you still have to make a booking, and both tickitaly and the museum charge a booking fee - it is the actual ticket that is free of charge. In effect this means that you should book the complimentary ticket for all venues if your visit falls between the 25th and 31st of March 2008. This offer does not apply to guided tours.

January 2008 - we have managed to obtain a limited number of guaranteed, pre-booked entrance places for viewing Da Vinci's Last Supper in Milan - details.

November 2007 - tickets for the 2008 Verona Opera Festival are now on sale.

From April 2007 we are pleased to be able to offer visits to the Vatican as part of a group tour. We've been arranging private Vatican tours for a while, but their exclusivity is naturally reflected in their price.

May 2007 - Please note that between the 12th and 20th of May 2007 it is the 'Settimana della Cultura', an annual event that sees all Italian museums waive their entrance fees. If you are visiting during this period please note that you still have to make a booking, and both tickitaly and the museum charge a booking fee - it is the actual ticket that is free of charge. In effect this means that you should book the complimentary ticket for all venues if your visit falls between the 12th and 20th of May 2007. This offer does not apply to guided tours.

December 2006 - The splendid and recently re-opened Torre dell'Orologio (Clock Tower) in Venice has, for a long time now, been closed and hidden behind scaffolding. We are now able to accept bookings for guided tours of this remarkable attraction.

March 2006 - tickitaly.com are now offering guided tours of the Vatican - the Vatican Museums, St. Peters, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Library and more. Click here for details.

For 2006 we are delighted to announce that tickitaly are now an official reseller for tickets for the Verona Opera Festival, as authorised by the Arena di Verona Fondazione.
