Questions people ask

Is skip-the-line worth it?

At the Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Louvre, Sagrada Família, Uffizi and Acropolis in summer: yes, the saved hour is worth the €5–€15 premium. At smaller sights, rarely.

What is the difference between skip-the-line and timed entry?

Timed entry books a slot and you may still queue at security; skip-the-line usually adds a host who takes you through a separate entrance. Listings say which one you get.
