Tickets for the Scrovegni Chapel

Don't panic if you're not able to get tickets before arriving in Padua. At the train station, there's a very helpful TI booth that can reserve the tickets for you in person. (The chapel is within easy walking distance of the train station.) In early November they won't be booked up solid.

It appears to me that they just haven't opened up the November dates for booking yet. Wait a couple of weeks. They did note on the website that the chapel,will be closed for a few days starting November 12 to evaluate possible damage to the frescoes ( from a lightning strike in August) but that will not affect you.

Keep checking. I'm sure they will release the dates soon. Otherwise, you can do what I did last October. After arriving, I went to the TI next to the station and booked the reservation then. I was able to get in no problem and that was in October. November should be even less crowded and should have less demand for times. The chapel was amazing.

Thank you for the information. I will continue to monitor the site in hopes I can book before we leave for Italy. However it is good to know that we can book at the TI office.

Here's a fun fact about the frescoes: When you get into the chapel, find the figure of Judas in the various panels about Jesus. Now look at what happens to his halo in each progressive panel. Most people miss that.

I was having trouble booking for November also but received an e-mail from them today. Booking for November is now open and was very easy. There's some very confusing information on the website but ignore it and go directly to booking.

Thank you - I also received a email this morning and was able to book my visit.
