Following the passing of Pope Francis, here’s what travelers should know about visiting the Vatican during the funeral and mourning period:

Following the funeral, the casket will be transferred to Santa Maria Maggiore, in accordance with the Pope’s burial wishes.

📍 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐬
Out of respect for the funeral, the Vatican Museums will be closed on Saturday, April 26. They will remain open on other days.

📍 𝐋𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞: 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟑–𝟐𝟓
