the vatican museum was absolutely beautiful and the sistine chapel was something i’d wanted to do my whole life. the chapel is much smaller than usually thought, but very beautiful. this was an unguided ticket, just assistance with entry and skip the line. i will say that the museum is set up so you go through all exhibits before seeing the chapel, which was unexpected in a good way. i wanted to see the chapel primarily but there was no straight shot, which ended up being good because i didn’t realize how much there actually was to the museum and was very intrigued by everything. there are audio guides for purchase inside the museum. once we were in we were on our own which was nice, so we could go at our own pace. i’d recommend this, pretty inexpensive for a nice day
