I just planned a vacation in Rome for next week, but will the museums be open?

Posted on February 18, 2010 by admin

I know Carnival season is in full swing next week, but what about the museums? Anyone know if they’ll be shut down? I was really wanting to see all of Rome’s historical sites as well, and the Vatican.

No problem, everything will be open, Rome doesn’t really place much importance on the Carnival period.
Remember, the last Sunday in the month the Sistine Chapel is free. Get there early, it will be full.
