Our guide was Marcia, who was truly superb. She was able to captivate us with her explanations, which made the visit very pleasant and interesting. The fact that we were also able to cut the queues was also very advantageous, as they were 2-3 hours long I think...

It was just great to see it all, we even found the Van Gogh. It's definitely more fun without a guided tour!

I was assisted as soon as I arrived at the address and was given directions. We left a little late, but we got through the queue quickly and the gui went inside the museum.

The museum and the Sistine Chapel are spectacular. No one who goes to Rome should miss them. It is one of the most artistically impressive things in Europe. What I liked the least was the reception of the tickets, it is not very normal that you can not go directly to the entrance of the Museums to enter.

Once you meet your host at the designated meeting point, you will take a short walk to the entrance to the Vatican Museums. Upon entering, you will be free to roam the Museum and Sistine Chapel at your own pace. The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel boast the finest artwork ever to be made. Made up of 54 galleries, the Vatican Museums house one of the largest, and also the most important, collections of Renaissance art in the world.

Marvel Michaelangelo's Final Judgement

The 54th gallery of the Vatican Museums is the famed Sistine Chapel. Originally built in the 15th Century, the paintings by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel were painted in the 16th century. View many of the most famous frescoes in the world, including the famous ceiling and Final Judgement painted by Michelangelo.
