Railbookers has announced its first-ever VIP experience: "Railbookers Exclusive Event: After Hours at the Vatican." This event will take place in September, offering privileged access to the Vatican Museums in Rome after they close to the public.
On the evening of September 8, 2025, a limited number of Railbookers guests will have the exclusive opportunity to explore the Vatican Museums after the crowds have cleared and the doors have closed. Over the course of two uninterrupted hours, guests will freely explore the Vatican’s grand halls and galleries, taking in masterpieces of art, architecture, and centuries of history in a setting rarely experienced.
This opportunity includes standing beneath Michelangelo’s iconic Sistine Chapel ceiling and wandering the grounds of the Holy See, entirely free from the usual crowds. The evening concludes with a traditional Italian apericena, a social experience that blends the relaxed atmosphere of aperitivo with a light meal.
Guests desiring to take part in this one-time special event can do so by booking one of three all-new itineraries:
- Masterpieces by Rail: London to Rome with Vatican Access
- Rome, Naples & Sorrento with Exclusive Vatican Experience
- Venice, Florence & Rome with After-Hours Vatican Access
In addition to the VIP private tour of the Vatican, each customizable itinerary has been crafted to include luxury hotels, popular private and small-group sightseeing activities, private transfers throughout, and first-class rail travel between cities.
