Did any of you visit this new cemetery, by tha Vaticansīs parking lot?

Hi, Just returned from a trip to the Vatican and can't seem to find identification for a statue (attached as my photo). It is located in a round room in the Vatican Museum with numerous other statues of the same background. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi all!
We're visiting the Vatican in November, and I'm wondering how we should best go about it. I've read a lot of good about the Angel tours, but I was wondering if it's really worth it, as it's probably less crowded in November anyway.
Could you tell me what I should do? A tour or not, and if so, which tour!
As usual, thanks for all your help!

I'll be visiting the vatican in December with my wife and tried faxing them for a tour reservation as I am visually impaired. I followed their instructions on doing so on their web site in the visitor services section. However, the fax number seems to be out of service and I also tried the regular guided tour fax number and still no luck. Can anyone help me on obtaining any Vatican contact information as I am not able to come across any additional telephone or fax number. Nor can I find an e-mail address where I can write them about my enquiry.

Also, might anyone know what the tour for a visually impaired person consist of?

many thanks,
Cristobal

Hello. I am hoping to obtain some information about how can i go about arranging a trip to visit the Vatican City during next year's Easter. The things i would like to do are these:
1) tentatively attend Easter masses during the Easter week. hopefully His Holiness will be conducting the masses
2) visit the Vatican Museum within that Easter week or after it. Visit Rome.

I look forward to hear from you. Thank you for your kind attention.

Regards,
Yi

I tell you, planning a trip to the Vatican isn't easy! I am planning on attending a mass at St. Peter's on Sunday October 1 but I understand now that all the museums are closed. Is there anything else open or worth attending in the Vatican on a Sunday? Does the pope have his Sunday Angelus every week?

Thank you!

We're landing in Rome on Christmas day and I thought it would be a great day to visit Vatican City. Can anyone tell me what happens there on Christmas day, if we might see the Pope, and will everything be open?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I am specifically looking where exactly are the exits of the Vatican Grottoes. Many websites are telling me that it's by the cortilone and I want to know what is it exactly and where does it lead to. Can someone answer my question?

Hello!
I am visiting Rome & the Vatican at the end of May. While reserching the Vatican, I am getting conflicting reports as to whether or not I should try to reserve tickets for the Vatican Musuem. One source said you cannot get reservations for general admission to the museum, only for private tours. Does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks for your help!

Hi all

I was hoping some one could help me. The only day I will have avaliable to see the Vatican is on sunday and all the information is telling me that the museums are closed on sunday.

I understand the reasons for the sunday closure but wondered if there was any parts of Vaticin City that are open on the sunday 7th of may 2006.

Or alternativly are there any tours that I could do on a Sunday, or any way to go to a service there.

Thanks for your help.

Hi! Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to enter the St. Peter's Dome (for a bird view...). I'm doing a plan for a group and would like to make as exact financial plan as possible ;). Thanks!

Where is the best place to order tickets for the Vatican Museum and Sisitine Chapel?
I'd like to have pre booked tickets so we don't have to stand in line.

Thank you.
