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.

Visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel was one of the highlights of my trip to Rome. The skip-the-line tickets saved us a huge amount of time and made the experience smooth from the start. The museums are breathtaking, with endless galleries filled with incredible art, history, and stunning architecture. The absolute highlight was seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. Standing beneath that ceiling was a truly unforgettable moment and something I had dreamed about for years. Despite the large crowds, everything was well organized, and there was plenty to admire along the way. Every room revealed another treasure, making the visit feel like a journey through centuries of human creativity. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome.

Ominięcie kolejki do Muzeów Watykańskich to duża oszczędność czasu i uniknięcie nieprzyjemności stania w długiej kolejce, zwłaszcza w upalny dzień. Warto przeznaczyć ten czas na Muzea bo jest tam co oglądać i trasa zwiedzania jest tak ułożona, że nie można przedostać się bezpośrednio tylko do wybranych miejsc. Trzeba też pamiętać, że bilet obejmuje bezkolejkowe wejście do Muzeów i Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej, natomiast do Bazyliki i grobowców papieskich wchodzi się oddzielnie, bezpłatnie, po przejściu kontroli i odstaniu w kolejce. Ja byłam w dzień powszedni, do południa to kolejka do Bazyliki nie była długa - 10 minut stania.

Conhecer o museu do Vaticano foi incrível, começando pela facilidade de compra dos ingressos na Headout. A partir daí, foi tudo muito especial porque nunca tínhamos visitado Roma. Chegamos no ponto de encontro e, de imediato, recebemos nossos vouchers de entrada e seguimos para a entrada. As informações foram claras e obejetivas e não tivemos nenhuma dificuldade em todo o passeio. Fizemos um tour completo de 5 horas, inciando pela Pinacoteca e finalizando na Capela Sisitina. Vai aqui uma recomendação tripla: viaje para Roma, visite o museu do Vaticano e compre os ingressos na Headout.

    The Vatican Museums were a highlight of my trip to Italy this year. Exploring this extensive collection at the historic Vatican site is truly fascinating—featuring, for example, original works by Van Gogh, Chagall, Gauguin, Picasso, and the great painter Raphael, as well as Michelangelo’s frescoes. All of this is part of a unique collection that showcases wonderful ancient sculptures. A journey through the entire ancient world with valuable exhibits... There’s the original autographed jersey of Maradona and Pelé, Schumi’s Formula 1 steering wheel, the popes’ state carriages, and their “Papa-Mobiles.” You can also enjoy a cozy cup of coffee and a snack inside the well-maintained open-air restaurant. It was exhausting, but since I wasn’t in a rush, it was very enjoyable. There are benches and places to take a break everywhere. The highlight, of course, is the Sistine Chapel, the site of the secret papal election by the conclave, with Michelangelo’s magnificent paintings. I had purchased a ticket in advance through "HeadOut"; the admission and service were great, and it saved a lot of time since we were admitted immediately instead of having to wait in the usual long line. The museum offers an audio guide for 8 EUR that explains all the sights in a simple yet interesting way. Many rooms are air-conditioned, and you can send greetings to your loved ones directly from the Vatican Post Office. For me, it was a uniquely wonderful experience; including the great tour operator "headout," I can highly recommend it. Best regards, Micha

    Everything went smoothly with the fast-track tickets—which, given the crowds and long lines, is "worth its weight in gold," as they say. It felt like I paid “gold” for it, though... I was a bit late, and other providers didn’t have any time slots left for my week-long vacation. Here I was still able to get everything, and as I said, everything went smoothly/worked out—but it was “just” admission (I know, that’s a luxury at these hotspots), no tour, no guide, just an audio guide to download at the Colosseum with a bit of info......for a luxurious €239... It’s 4 stars because, as I said, everything went smoothly (and I couldn’t change the rating anymore), but it was really a bit too expensive—though I only have myself to blame for paying that much... 😉
  • Access 2 of Rome's treasures: the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum, with a single ticket!

    Vatican Museums

    At the Vatican Museums, and explore a whole world of art for as long as you like. Admire classical sculptures, tapestries, and paintings by Renaissance greats like Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Leonardo da Vinci. There's an entire section devoted to Modern Religious Art, where you'll find pieces by van Gogh, Dalí, and Picasso. Must-visit sections of the Vatican Museums include the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, the Sala Rotunda and the Gallery of Statues, and the Hall of Busts.

    Of course, one cannot visit the Vatican Museums without seeing the iconic Sistine Chapel. Located at the end of the Vatican Museums and neighboring St. Peter's Basilica, this 15th-century chapel's walls and ceilings are covered by some of the most astounding frescoes ever produced. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo in a span of 4 years, is considered to be a cornerstone of western art. The Last Judgement covers the wall behind the altar and is probably the most famous single work of art in the Sistine Chapel. Please note: Entry to the museums is by obligatory online booking.

    Colosseum

    The Colosseum is believed to have been built as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people. This majestic outdoor amphitheater was once the epicenter for entertainment, hosting public spectacles and games. Quite a bloody past. It was, after all, a stage for gladiator fights, often including animals. This is your chance to step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

    You also get entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. See popular sites such as the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more. Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, it is now an extensive archaeological site.

    The audio guide, narrated by local experts, offers an interactive map of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. As you walk around, tap the area you are exploring and listen to brief commentary dedicated to that spot. Tip: Bring along your earphones for the best audio experience.
