The Vatican museums are incredible, as is the Sistine Chapel. This trip allowed us faster entry but there huge numbers entering all the time. You have to visit a lot of rooms before you get to the Sistine Chapel, but it’s an amazing place to end the tour. It’s very hot inside and out, so bring a fan or buy one outside. There are water stations to fill bottles on the way round. The food places inside are actually very reasonable compared to UK/US prices. My tip would be to book an early time slot as it takes a while to get round and the queues are huge in the afternoon. The Basilica is included in this ticket, but requires leaving the museums and walking to the St Peter’s square to enter. The security gates take a while to get through. Once you’re out, there are several gelataria outside. They’re a tourist trap with high prices for eating in, but take away prices are good. Walk a couple of streets away and prices (and lines) drop a lot.

Very straight forward and got to explore the Vatican. Wish there was a physical map that we were given to help find our way around
