Best tickets available
I booked a priority entrance ticket last week, and it was a wonderful experience. I recommend purchasing these tickets beforehand. Even during the off-season, the lines were long to get in. Some of the most beautiful works of art are to be seen in a single place. Well worth the expense and is one of the must-see attractions in Rome.
Beautiful experience!
Beautiful experience, with quick entry and no queues. The rooms of the Museum of Vatican are rich in history and works of exceptional artistic value. Admiring the Sistine Chapel leaves you breathless. I really recommend to anyone visiting Rome to dedicate a few hours to this tour.
