Statues, frescos and tapestries but not much else. A must do as it is the Vatican and it is interesting to see the opulence but not again.

If there is one thing you do before you go to the Vatican Museums it is to reserve your tickets online. We literally walked past hundreds of people waiting in the ticket line. We did not wait at all! Also there is a back exit from the Sistine Chapel that the tour guides use that is a wonderful shortcut. Make...

I took the morning tour with viator who uses the Dark Rome tour company. We had Sev as our tour guide and he was fantastic, he was so knowledgable and was able to tell us all sorts of weird and wonderful things about the museum and the Vatican. He took his time and made sure we had enough time to...

Having just returned from nearly a month away travelling around Europe, the Vatican was one of our must see places, wow the queues where like miles and miles long, and once inside its like shoulder to shoulder, you need to get there very early in the morning at least 1 to 2 hours before opening. It is a totaly awesome...

I am sure that there are some wonderful things here BUT thousands of people are allowed in at a time .There is no time to stand and look at the art and sculpture as you get pushed along by the crowds and or the staff. The staff are on the whole rude and not very concerned about the visitors. My...

My frustration began at once. I had pre-reserved tickets online (which you must do in order to avoid a line that is literally 2-3 hours long in order to purchase...

I must say that I would recommend quite the opposite of what everyone says. DO NOT GO IN THE MORNING, everyone does that and the lines take 2 to 3 hours, but by 2pm the line is absolutely empty. The moment you get there you get in! The Sixtine chapel y simply divine and though rude uneducated travelers despite the...

We visited the Vatican Museum as part of a trip to Rome. We noticed that when we went past the museum on previous days the queues were really long so we decided to book online the day before our visit.

We booked an omnia card before we visited to help avoid the queues. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. When we tried to collect the card at the terminii which was listed as a site for collection, we were told we had to go to St Peters Square. The staff in the office were mainly disinterested and unhelpful They also gave...

Way too many people are allowed to enter the museum at the same time. You can be overwhelmed not by the statues but by the fact you are closed in narrow corridors with bunch of people that make difficult even standing up.
In this way, you cannot even enjoy the outstanding operas of Michelangelo or Raffaello you can find there....
