Sistine Chapel, Vatican City

Absolutely terrific. We did a small group tour & skipped the line. Our tour guide was great. Priceless antiquities of human history are in the Vatican. The imagination of the artists, the colors, their skills are on display throughout the buildings. Catholic or not, this should not be missed if in Rome.

Although we visited the Sistine Chapel in a low tourist season, there were too many people so we could not enjoy it as we would have liked. Photos are not allowed. However, I managed to quickly snap a few. It was a transgression I could not resist. I point out that most of the photos they have uploaded to Google Maps are not of the Sistine Chapel but of other rooms of the Vatican Museums, in which photography is allowed. The Sistine Chapel is almost at the end of the Vatican Museums route. If you get tired, be sure to take the detour, a shorter route avoiding many intermediate museum rooms that are just as suffocatingly full of people and without offering the possibility to sit down and rest. Don't worry if you need to relieve yourself, there are toilets scattered around. On the occasion I would like to note that all the places we visited in Rome had a lot of tourism. The whole city is flooded with tourists even though it was low tourist season. Don't make the mistake of traveling to Rome without pre-booking tickets for the places you want to visit, otherwise you won't be able to get in. The queues and waiting are too long. Keep in mind that for almost all attractions you need to pay a ticket and almost all places are checked similar to that of an airport. In my opinion, the Roma pass is not worth it as it is not like in other cities that allows you almost unlimited access to museums, etc.
