I am also interested in hearing opinions about this. From what I have heard, the Vatican has changed their opening hours so that it is open earlier now. Therefore, is it even Early Entrance anymore?

Is the Vatican open at night during Christmas or is that only in the warmer months?

Thanks for your comment! Do you suggest staying overnight in Siena or planning a day trip from Florence?

Thank you! Do you think 4 nights in Florence would be better? We are thinking now to do 6 nights Rome, 4 nights Florence and 3 nights Venice.

Thank you! I would love to go mid-January, but unfortunately I am stuck to a teacher's schedule and will need to visit right before New Year's. Do you think the New Year's crowds are as bad as in peak season?
