F.A.Q.
The last admission is at 6.20 p.m., but to allow time to pass through security and view the main works, such as Michelangelo’s David, it is advisable to arrive by 5.30 p.m.
Bookings are allocated to specific time slots to ensure visitors are managed efficiently. If you are slightly late, staff will try to fit you into the first available slot. However, on busy days, you may have to wait or lose your priority access.
Yes, the museum is generally open on public holidays such as 25th April and 1st May, unless these days fall on a Monday (the museum's closing day). However, we recommend checking for any special openings organized specifically for public holidays that fall on a Monday.
The quietest times are usually the early morning, straight after opening at 8.15 a.m., and the last afternoon session after 5 p.m. By avoiding the middle of the day, you can admire Michelangelo's sculptures in a much quieter setting.
If you purchased your ticket online, please arrive at the designated entrance approximately 10–15 minutes before the time indicated on your ticket. This will give you enough time to complete the voucher exchange and security procedures with ease.
