Railbookers is launching its first VIP experience, offering travelers exclusive after-hours access to the Vatican Museums in Rome.
On Sept. 8, 2025, a limited number of guests will have the opportunity to explore the Vatican Museums for two hours after the facility closes to the public. Participants will be able to view masterpieces including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling without crowds, followed by a traditional Italian apericena.
"We're thrilled to offer our guests this extraordinary event, exploring one of the world's most iconic sites in a serene, intimate environment," said Frank Marini, president and CEO of Railbookers Group. "The chance to enjoy the Vatican after hours, away from the crowds, is a rare, unforgettable experience that is not to be missed."
Travelers can participate in this event by booking one of three new itineraries: Masterpieces by Rail: London to Rome with Vatican Access; Rome, Naples & Sorrento with Exclusive Vatican Experience; or Venice, Florence & Rome with After-Hours Vatican Access.
Each itinerary includes luxury accommodations at five-star hotels, private and small-group sightseeing activities, private transfers, and first-class rail travel between cities.
Those interested in future exclusive events can sign up for Railbookers' priority access email list.
