Nov–Mar — the months this route recommends.

Entry on an Indian passport
Embassy or consulate in advance, 90 days in any 180. No border control; Italian Schengen rules decide. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Vatican City in 2 days: St Peter's, the Sistine Chapel and the Scavi
St Peter's Square → the Basilica → the dome → the Vatican Museums → the Scavi
Forty-nine hectares holding Michelangelo's ceiling, Bernini's colonnade and a necropolis under the high altar — reached from a Rome hotel, because there is nowhere to stay and no border to cross.
