While there's no guarantee you'll see the man himself, you can enjoy one of Rome's best kept-secrets - having happy hour in one of its most beautiful places.

The museums have a grand collection of art and sculpture collected by the Roman Catholic Church over the centuries.

They are known for its miles of corridors adorned with art and the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s most famous work can be found.

Normally, the Vatican Museums close at 6pm.

However, the museums will now close at 10:30pm on Friday nights, with the last entry being at 8:30 PM.

On Saturday nights, they will close at 8:00pm, and last entry is at 6pm.

You'll get one drink and some picky bits to enjoy in the courtyard, included in the price of the ticket.

The happy hour experience has 4.5/5 stars on TripAdvisor, with more than 150 reviews.

Some visitors described it as a 'must visit' and the 'dream tour'.

To go on this once in a lifetime opportunity, you'll have to pre-book your tickets as they are already selling out.

Adults tickets cost £35 (€40), while the reduced tickets are available for £27.50.

The reduced rates are available for anyone under 18 and for students under 25 with a valid student ID.

If you're not too fussed about visiting at night-time and having a drink, a good tip is to visit on the last Sunday of the month.

We've also found the Italian bar with drinks from 88p.

And the ‘incredible’ seaside resort with £1 pints and 20 beaches under three hours from the UK.

If you'd rather stay closer to home, we found a UK beach that has been called ‘paradise’ and likened to the Caribbean.
