Is it better to visit the attractions in Rome during the week or on weekends? Are places closed on Sundays and Mondays?
The Vatican Museums are closed on Sundays and most other museums are closed on Mondays. Also, on Saturdays, the Vatican Museums has shorter hours (closing at 13:45), so the lines/queues can be much longer. Shops that follow traditional Rome hours close in the afternoons on Saturdays, and reopen on Monday afternoons. Many restaurants pick Sunday or Monday as their weekly closing day. Weekends in Rome tend to be more crowded, as many people take advantage of easy and affordable trips here from all over Europe. If you can come to Rome during the week, you will find more things open, and somewhat smaller crowds.
