Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums are undoubtedly a must-visit. You’ll find these hallowed halls housed in the holy Vatican City. Perhaps that’s why the works here are of such a godly nature – expect true masterpieces (Ever heard of the Sistine Chapel?) and a beauty so supreme it can’t even be tainted by the crowds of trampling tourists.

    So much, we took the guided tour, yes very informative, but skimmed so much to fit within the time allowed, massive crowds, next time maybe we will just get entry to take the experience slower. but worth the visit whichever way it is done I am sure.

    Expensive, and even more expensive if you take a tour and avoid the endless lines for tickets. Some of the world's greatest painting masterpieces are here. No bare shoulders or hemlines above the knees are allowed.

    Probably important to preface this with: I'm not an art person. But I thought we couldn't miss the masterpieces contained here. Turns out, we could have. We went during closing hours for "fewer crowds" but still the sistine chapel was an unpleasant experience. They really try to shove as many people as possible into the place and I was having none of it. Once you go through to the other side of the partition it's much more enjoyable as they won't be barking at you to shove in shove in. It was just not worth it for us, even with a guided tour so we knew what we were seeing.

    I visited the Vatican Museum here, not the Vatican itself.

    I visited the Vatican Museum here, not the Vatican itself. The Museum has much incredible art, and I booked a walking tour. By the end of the tour (two hours later), I was understandably tired. Most of what I can remember consists of dusty, half-lit rooms, which didn't help. I was glad to get some fresh air. Be aware that, being close to the Vatican and the Piazza S. Pietro, this neighbourhood is a magnet for junk sellers and scammers. Be extra careful here. The police will do nothing about them.

    I've been several times before, but my husband had not, so we booked a group guided tour with Viator. I can say that the Catholic Church has RUINED the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel with their greed by shoving 25,000-45,000 people per DAY through there with very little time to see anything!! It was NEVER like this before and I'm appalled that it's become so disgustingly greedy to do this! Our tour started at 2:45 and it was SO crowded and SO rushed that we literally had 3 minutes in the Sistine Chapel, which is at the end of the tour, before the nasty guards literally turned all of the lights off and shoved us out the door!!! Can't miss your 5 pm espresso apparently!!! We were literally crowded shoulder to shoulder with others throughout a great deal of the museum and the chapel!!!

    Book skip the line or a tour of the museums, Sistine Chapel and Basillica as one tour, if you book sistene chapel and basillica as a tour you do not have to wait in the huge security line for the Basillica (although it is free if you choose the latter) .

    I highly recommend this BnB! Ernesto and Paola, the hosts are very kind and accommodating. The place is very neat and tidy. Great location as well, if you want easy access to the Vatican (the Vatican Museums are just across the street) and St. Peter's Basilica.

    The room was clean and tidy. There was plenty of hot water for two people to shower. The air conditioning worked well. The host was very helpful. There is a great market across the street with lots of fresh seafood. It’s less than a five-minute walk to the Vatican Museums and less than a ten-minute walk to the metro station.

    Fantastic apartment in a wonderful location close to a bus stop and between 2 metro stops. Close to restaurants and shops. Literally 3 min walk to the Vatican Museums. Very comfortable bed. Very well equipped. Amazing bathroom. A brilliant very spacious apartment. Not noisy once you have the shutters and windows closed.

What guests said about Vatican Museums:

  • I didn't know the Sistine Chapel didn't allow photography.

    I didn't know the Sistine Chapel didn't allow photography. Frankly, the Hall of Maps at the Musei Vaticani was the most impressive aspect. The entire collection was amazing.

    pre-book a tour around the Vatican museums (Sistine Chapel) and St.Peter's as it is well worth the extra money and avoids the massive queues.

    If you like museums, pictures and sculptures. When visiting the Capitol and Vatican museums you'll need to give each place twice the time recommended in the guidebooks. There is so much to see every were.

  • You cannot avoid the crowd.

    You cannot avoid the crowd. The best suggestion to visit Vatican museums and St Peter's is to take a guided tour. To visit the Colosseum, book your tickets in advance over the internet and skip the line. Other attractions are easy to visit.
