Die Vatikanischen Museen ein High-Light bei meinem diesjährigem Italienurlaub. An der historischen Stätte des Vatikan, diese umfangreiche Sammlung zu erkunden ist sehr interessant, so zb. Originale von Van Gogh, Chagall, Gaugin, Picasso, oder dem großen Maler Raffael, die Fresken Michelangelos. Dies reiht sich alles in eine einzigartige Sammlung ein, die wunderbare Skulpturen der Antike zeigt. Ein Streifzug, durch die gesamte alte Welt mit wertvollen Ausstellungsstücken.. Da ist das original unterschriebene Trikot von Maradonna und Pele das Formel 1 Lenkrad von Schumi, die Staatskarossen der Päpste und Ihre Papa-Mobile. Auch kann man im Inneren im gepflegten Freirestaurant gemütlich Kaffee trinken einen Snack nehmen. Es war anstrengend, da ich aber keinen Zeitdruck hatte, sehr schön. Überall gibt es Bänke und Plätze Pause zu machen. Das High-Light, natürlich die Sixtinische Kapelle, der Ort der geheimen Papstwahl des Konklave, mit der wundervollen Malerei Michelangelos. Ich hatte mir vorher bei "headout" eine Eintrittskarte besorgt, der Eintritt und die Betreuung waren super, es sparte viel Zeit, da wir ohnesonst üblich lange Wartezeit sofort Einlass bekamen. Im Museeum giebt es einen Audio Guide für 8 EUR, der erklärt alle Sehenswürdigkeiten einfach aber intersessant. Viele Räume sind klimatisiert, von der Vatikanischen Post kann man direkt Grüße an seine Liebsten schreiben. Für mich ein einzigartig tolles Erlebnis, inclusive des Super Veranstalters "headout" kann ich wärmstens empfehlen. Liebe Grüße Micha

The crowds at the Vatican weren't too bad as we chose to start our visit at 4 pm or so. After about 2 hours, we were ready for a break and a snack. I was disappointed to find no tables with chairs at them; it was standing room only. It's not much of a break if you have to stand through it! Upon leaving the Vatican, we were approached by a taxi driver who asked if we wanted to engage him. We said yes and got in his taxi. To make a long story short, he overcharged us for the ride and, after I had given him a €50 note, he said I had only given him a €10. I was sure I had given him €50 to pay the €48 we owed. He said no, I had only given him a €10. Feeling rushed, flustered and tired after our time at the Vatican, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, only to later discover I had given him €50 and then another €20 and 3 - €10 Euro notes. Plus, I tipped him €5 Euros!! So in the end I had given him €105 Euros for an inflated taxi ride of €48. I felt like such an idiot, but in reality I had been intentionally scammed by a taxi driver, who targets patrons leaving the Vatican. Needless to say, this event left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding my Vatican visit.

We had an amazing fast-track experience in Rome with Headout while visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Pantheon. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and having guides help us through the entrances made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We skipped the massive queues and got inside surprisingly fast, which gave us much more time to actually enjoy the places instead of waiting outside for hours. Inside the Vatican Museums, we explored incredible galleries filled with sculptures, paintings, and centuries of history before reaching the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in person was honestly breathtaking and completely different from seeing it in pictures. The atmosphere inside the chapel felt surreal and unforgettable. We also visited the Pantheon, which was another huge highlight of the day. The architecture, the enormous dome, and the history behind the building were genuinely impressive. Overall, the experience felt very premium, comfortable, and memorable, and the fast-track access with Headout made exploring these iconic places in Rome so much easier and more enjoyable.

Eerst werden we weggestuurd omdat de tijd verschoven was en om 12.00 moesten we twee keer vragen, maar daarna in 2 minuten binnen, alleen wordt er niet verteld dat je door een volstrekt oninteressant stuk van het Vaticaan museum wordt gevoerd!!! ANDERHALF UUR, daarna mag je 5 minuten door de sixtijnse kapel lopen ( die zo vol is dat je je als een haring in een ton voelt) we konden een zitplaats vinden en op ons gemak omhoog kijken, we waren diep onder de indruk.

Tout c'est bien déroulé. Juste un reproche, la personne qui accueille au point de rv, semble assez pressée, elle parle très vite en anglais pour donner les explications. Pour les personnes qui ne comprennent pas parfaitement l'anglais, c'est difficile de comprendre. Elle ne s'est pas assurée que tout le monde avait compris. On était plusieurs groupes à n'avoir pas compris grand chose. Pour se rendre sur le site et a l'entrée, elle marche trop rapidement.

Truly was skip the line! Well worth the money. The ticket pickup place may seem shady but the staff was super nice, spoke good English. Make sure to listen to your temporary guide that walks you to the gates and gets you through security. They walk at a brisk pace about 2 blocks to get you in but can be crowded. Overall they got me there and in quickly!

Explore the capital city of Rome with a combo that is light on the wallet and easy to use.

At Vatican Museums, discover Biblical paintings by Raphael, Carravagio, and more. In the grand Sistine Chapel, stop to take in Michaelangelo’s inimitable fresco.

Use the 48-hr Roma pass for 1 free and many discounted entries to sites like the Colosseum and Borghese Gallery, and free access to the public transport system.

Fun Fact: The first artwork to arrive at the Vatican Museum was the marble sculpture Laocoön and His Sons, bought by Pope Julius II in the 16th century.

Es hat alles geklappt mit den schnellen Eintritten - das ist bei der Menge an Touristen und Warteschlangen "Gold wert ", wie man so schön sagt. Gefühlt habe ich dafür auch "Gold" bezahlt... Ich war bissl spät dran, und bei anderen Anbieter gab es meine Zeitfenster für die Woche Urlaub nicht mehr. Hier habe ich noch alles bekommen, und wie gesagt, es hat alles geklappt/funktioniert - aber es war ja "nur" Eintritt (ich weiß, das ist Luxus an diesen Hotspots), keine Führung, kein Guide, im Kolosseum ein Audioguide zum runterladen mit ein paar Infos.... für luxioröse 239€... Es sind 4 Sterne, weil, wie gesagt, alles reibungslos geklappt hat (und ich die Sterne nicht mehr ändern konnte), aber es war echt etwas zu teuer, aber ich bin ja selber schuld, wenn ich das zahle... 😉
