Full description

Take a stirring journey through art and religious history with skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Avoid the long ticket lines and then enjoy your visit at your own pace.  Wander through the Greek Cross Gallery to see elaborately-carved sarcophagi that might just contain the earthly remains of some of antiquity's famous kings and queens.

Peek at the Cabinet of the Masks, or tour the Sala degli Animali to see a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Walk the Upper Galleries, including the Gallery of Maps, to see how cartographers depicted the world through the ages.

See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest for a while in the Borgia Apartments. Then, it’s time to marvel at Michelangelo’s exquisite Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and perhaps even of all the world’s art treasures.

We had a great visit to the vatican museum, the skip the line was an added bonus as the line to buy tickets was exceptionally long. At certain parts of the museum it became very crowded especially with tour groups. The Sistine Chapel was extrodinary but again with the level of crowds it was hard to appreciate it. There are signs for no talking or taking pictures and sadly these signs were followed even with staff. We are happy we done the tour though.

The museums were very expansive. I didn’t realize how many separate exhibits they would have! My favorite was the tapestries & maps rooms. Obviously Sistine Chapel was beautiful too! The lunch there was terrible though & highly recommend avoiding having a meal at the museum. Def worth the skip the line feature! FYI This ticket did NOT include audio which is an additional €8 so definitely purchase this additional feature as it made the experience much more enjoyable with context.

Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Church was an awe-inspiring experience that exceeded all expectations. Words cannot adequately capture the grandeur and cultural significance of these historic sites. The Vatican Museum is a treasure trove of art and history. Michelangelo's breathtaking Sistine Chapel ceiling St. Peter's Basilica is nothing short of a architectural beauty and the interior is a testament to divine craftsmanship. I was struck by the sense of reverence and respect that permeates both the museum and the church. It's clear that these sites are not only repositories of art and faith but also places of deep cultural significance. In summary, the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Church are a testament to human achievement, both in terms of artistry and spirituality. If you have the opportunity to visit, do so with an open heart and a curious mind, and you will undoubtedly be moved by the beauty and history that surrounds you. It's an experience that will stay with you all time
