The Vatican Museums' Free Sunday Entry in Vatican City is one of the most remarkable free attractions in the world. On the last Sunday of each month, the Vatican Museums open their doors for free, allowing visitors to marvel at one of the greatest art collections ever assembled.

This includes access to the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s awe-inspiring frescoes, including The Creation of Adam, adorn the ceiling. While it requires early arrival due to popularity, the experience of witnessing such historic and artistic masterpieces without a fee is unmatched – earning it the number one spot on our list of the world's best free attractions.
