Quote: The walk from St Peter’s Square was fairly uninspiring, and it is best to close your eyes to the "tat" trying to be passed off as religious souvenirs, which are on display on your route. You’ll also need to be prepared to queue for your entrance,... Read the full Vatican Museums review

The Vatican museums - in a minimalist fashion
Quote: As we made our way from Piazza San Pietro to the entrance of the Vatican museums a few things dawned on us: i) this is a very popular route ii) we really should’ve eaten earlier iii) this is quite a long way considering the two buildings are... Read the full Vatican Museums review

Quote: Few art museums are truly worth braving massive crowds, pushy tourists, and long lines. The Musei Vaticani is one of them, and is a must-see on even the shortest Roman journey. Begin your visit by arriving before or shortly after the doors open... Read the full Vatican Museums review

The Vatican Museum
Quote: There is only one word to discribe the Vatican Museums: Overwhelming. The line to enter begins outside the City/States walls, which are at least 20' high and seem to ooze power and solitude. After a few minutes we were at the top of the stairs,... Read the full Vatican Museums review
