Make the Most of Your Time
Standing in line isn't how you want to spend your holiday. At the world's most popular attractions, queues of 2-3 hours are common during peak season. That's time you could spend exploring, dining, or simply enjoying your destination.
Which Attractions Need Skip the Line?
Not every attraction warrants priority access. Focus on:
- Major museums: Louvre, Vatican, Uffizi, Prado
- Iconic landmarks: Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, Sagrada Familia
- Limited capacity sites: Anne Frank House, Alhambra
- Summer destinations: Any attraction in peak tourist season
Guided Tours vs. Tickets Only
Skip-the-line tickets come in two main formats:
- Tickets only: Entry access to explore at your own pace—ideal for museums you want to savour
- Guided tours: Expert guide included, often with exclusive areas access—best for historical sites where context matters
When to Book
Timing affects availability and price:
- Peak season (Summer/Christmas): Book 2-4 weeks ahead
- Major attractions: Book as soon as you confirm your travel dates
- Shoulder season: 48-72 hours usually sufficient
- Early morning slots: Often cheaper and less crowded
Frequently Asked Questions
How do skip the line tickets work?
Skip-the-line tickets give you priority entry through a separate entrance. You'll receive a mobile ticket with a QR code and time slot. At your scheduled time, go to the designated priority entrance—not the general queue—and scan your ticket.
Are skip the line tickets worth the extra cost?
For popular attractions, absolutely. The Colosseum can have 3+ hour waits in summer. A £25 premium saves you half a day of holiday time. Less popular attractions may not need skip-the-line unless you want a guided experience.
Can I buy skip the line tickets at the door?
Usually not—that would defeat the purpose! Skip-the-line tickets must be booked in advance and often sell out, especially in peak season. Book at least 24-48 hours ahead, or weeks ahead for top attractions.
What's the difference between skip the line and fast track?
They're generally the same thing—priority entry that bypasses standard queues. Some attractions use different terminology: fast track, express entry, priority access, or timed entry. All provide quicker access than general admission.
Which attractions have the longest queues?
The worst queues are at the Vatican Museums (3-4 hours), Colosseum (2-3 hours), Eiffel Tower (2-3 hours), Louvre (1-2 hours), Anne Frank House (2+ hours), and Sagrada Familia (1-2 hours). Skip-the-line is essential at these sites during peak season.
Can I combine skip the line with a guided tour?
Yes! Many skip-the-line tickets include optional guided tours. This is often the best value—you get priority access plus expert commentary. Look for "skip-the-line guided tour" options when booking.
What happens if I miss my time slot?
Policies vary by attraction. Some allow entry within a flexible window (30-60 minutes), while others strictly enforce time slots. If you're running late, contact the provider immediately. For popular attractions, missing your slot may mean losing your ticket.
Are there skip the line options for children?
Yes, most attractions offer skip-the-line tickets for children at reduced prices or free entry for under-6s. Family skip-the-line packages are often available. Check age requirements—some attractions have minimum ages for certain tours.
