Customer Reviews
Book tickets in advance and preferably from apps like GetYourGuide. It significantly reduced my waiting time! I barely needed to stand in Corridor/Line 3 for 15 mins before being let in. Whereas those who booked online on their website were standing in a very long queue and no clue when they were let in. Do not rush to the Sistine Chapel and Raphael’s rooms because everything before that is a masterpiece in itself. Once you enter the museums you have a choice to either directly go to the Sistine Chapel or go through all the museums present. It takes 1h35mins of continuous brisk walking without taking a lot of pictures. There are many people on guided tours inside that you’ll encounter on your way. There are designated places to sit and rest for some time. The walk ends 5-10 mins after you come out of the Sistine Chapel. Photos are prohibited inside the chapel. There are washrooms near entry and exit points. They also have many gift shops from where you can purchase magnets, post cards, books etc. It’s best to reserve half a day for the Vatican museums.
Don’t get me wrong, the museum is a 10/10. Considering this year’s jubilee, thou, there is a pre-established routing in place; which is great for tourists with little time, but makes it difficult to “savor” most spaces and art pieces before the Sistine Chapel (which is almost at the end of the path). The waiting time, with reservation was still considerable, so I recommend arriving a little earlier.
Absolutely incredible, this was definitely the highlight of my trip to Rome. The most beautiful corridor to walk through to the Sistine Chapel, exquisite. It's a long walk and be mindful about going around in circles as it's easy to if you don't take note of the signs.
