A very beautiful place associated with culture, art and faith, a huge number of world works, great sculptors, artists, I recommend visiting when there are few tourists, early in the morning at the very opening and preferably the end of November, the beginning of December
The place is worth visiting. We walked to the Vatican from Rome) it was very atmospheric.
There are a lot of people. It is not very clear where to go, in the museum itself. Again, we read everything on the Internet first.
It's impressive. We were there on Monday. On Sunday, the Pope goes out on the porch to bless the parishioners.
Tickets and excursions were taken via the Internet. Then we ran around the square looking for the entrance to the museum). If you are facing the Vatican)), then go to the right and arrive in advance, 30 minutes in advance. There is something to see. Listen too, join a group or take a personal guide. If you are on your own, without a guide, then you will miss a lot of interesting facts. Take some water with you as the tour will take 2-3 hours.
"Dreams [and trips abroad to the Vatican Museum] are very necessary for people.
Even impossible ones.
Only in a dream [on a trip abroad to the Vatican Museum] can you feel yourself again as you will never be again" - "I would... [he sucked in a single sip] of a glass - and into the Vatican!"..
Queue. It's huge in the morning. At the same time, buying a ticket online day in, day out for a specific time is not a big problem. However, you need to defend another queue for your time. It's generally beautiful, but there are a lot of people. And the Sistine Chapel - if you decide to take pictures of it (which is forbidden), then do not forget to turn off the flash, otherwise you will be taken away by security. I don't know where to go.
It is better to visit on your own, go through the tour without impressions. It is better to prepare and choose the most interesting place to visit. There are several cafes on site. You can sit and relax in the park. There were some problems with card payments.
Of course, everyone needs to visit the Vatican Museum at least once, at least virtually... This is a whole complex: gardens, sculptures, paintings, frescoes... And everything is fine! You need to book tickets very early and on the Internet... It is better to have the earliest or the latest session.... So that the crowd does not interfere with admiring, as well as taking selfies and photos...By the way, we were able to buy tickets to the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel for only 48 euros, but with dinner and a glass of wine... There are many complex tickets in Italy...
It's worth a visit. But you need to be prepared for crowds of people. Time also needs to be planned - 4-5 hours. There is an average queue for tickets at the ticket office for 30 minutes-1 hour, if not during the season itself. Resellers have a certain amount of time - from 50€.
It 's a pity that there were a lot of tourists and it was hot . And the museum itself is magnificent! I will definitely go again , but not during the peak of tourism .
Of course, a place for a mandatory visit. There are always a lot of visitors, but if you are a regular at such museums, come to the "long day" 2 hours before closing time and enjoy antique sculpture, paintings and frescoes alone!
Tickets must be purchased in advance. A guided visit is optimal. It's like our Hermitage can't be bypassed in one day. A very interesting place with its own history and treasure trove. You can see the Sistine Chapel at the end. And then he will go to the Cathedral of Peter and Paul.
In order not to waste half a day in line, I recommend buying an excursion. We went in 7-8 minutes. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but it's much easier this way. The museums made a huge impression on us. The Sextine Chapel is just a dream!
A huge museum that sells more tickets than the museum can accommodate. Therefore, I recommend visiting in October, November, January, February, March! Put in 3-4 hours at once. It's very big. In high season, walking through the museum, as at a demonstration, it is difficult to see something. In the picture gallery (pinakothek), there are always fewer people to pull from it. By evening, there are no fewer people. There are a lot of exhibits, especially sculptures. It is always better to buy tickets in advance so as not to stand at the entrance. But remember, there are always Russian guides in front of the entrance to the square near St. Peter's Cathedral, who will take you without waiting in line and take you through the museum. I recommend this option, otherwise you will spend a lot of time and you will not see the main pearls of the collection.
Well, there are no words, delight, I have been to the museum twice, I want to come and come here again. But the advice is to look at and read about this place beforehand, the perception will be completely different!
You definitely need to see it once. Everything is very interesting, but there are too many people, queues everywhere. It is best to take a guide, it is difficult to navigate yourself, or alternatively watch a video story before visiting.
It is better to buy tickets in advance, 6 months before the visit. Then it will cost you 23 euros. Because otherwise you will have to pay 80 euros for the ticket.
But in the metro at the Colosseum station, you can buy a combo tour for 71 euros = Vatican + forum + Colosseum. I recommend buying 1-2 days before visiting the museum, as there are practically no tickets every day.
I can tell from the museum itself how it will go for me, for the general development. But there were more impressions from visiting the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. I think you won't lose anything if you don't get there. Well, that's my vision.
We visited the Vatican Museums on September 21. It is better to take tickets in advance. Otherwise, you can stand in line for several hours! There are A Lot Of People in the museum itself! Just pandemonium! It's not very comfortable when you get into the human sea! The museum itself is stuffy! I couldn't really see anything! We spent 2 hours there! And that's it! They couldn't stand it!
Navigation through the museum is not very clear. Apart from the Sistine Chapel, the Geographical Hall and a couple more exhibits, attention is not focused on anything.
It is worth visiting again as part of a group, otherwise you will stand in line to enter for a very long time. There are many students and schoolchildren. The Sistine Chapel is a world heritage site.
It's hard to get into Rassian now. You need to buy tickets in advance and it is impossible to pay with a Russian card. We paid for the tickets with the year. Passed without a queue. The queue is huge. There are a lot of people in museums, a crowd. But we got a lot of pleasure. The cafe in the museum is very budget.
Must hev! The case when you can see the works of both Michelangelo and Rembrandt in one place. Another country. A sea of people. Getting inside even with a guide is a queue. But it's worth it.
A huge treasury with untold riches. In one day, if you set a goal, you can crawl to the Sistine Chapel, but on condition that there are no big stops along the way)
Well, as a full-fledged museum, I might not appreciate it, but as some kind of huge grandeur of Rome, yes, Leonorado's paintings are certainly amazing, this one should definitely be seen in person and only in person
A story that is definitely worth touching. The queue to the Cathedral of St. Petra passed in 40 minutes. The Sistine Chapel was the same in time.
Fabulous!
A huge museum, many interesting exhibits. There are a lot of people, buy a ticket at least 3 months in advance so that they don't stand in a huge queue.
A magnificent museum of masterpieces of art. I really liked it and was lucky there weren't so many people

It's 100% worth going here. We were with a guide on a group tour. The guide was wonderful. Both the Vatican and the Cathedral at once. A wonderful interesting place.
I was there in the summer with my family. I liked the sculptures and paintings there. A great place to relax.

A masterpiece. It is recommended to visit everyone first of all. I recommend planning for the next day to take a leisurely walk around the park and the museum!!!!
The most magnificent museum complex! I think this place is a must-visit. Moreover, it is impossible to understand and feel the scale and significance of the collected works in one visit!
One visit to the Vatican Museum complex can only form a general impression, even if the most iconic exhibits have been known for a long time and you only want to "commune" with the originals. Anyway, impressions are "over the edge", and you can't linger in the halls. This is the same Lacoon of the I century BC, whose authenticity expert in 1504 was Michelangelo. The paintings of Michelangelo and Raphael attract the eye, but tourists cannot stop, and they also need to try not to fall, walking with their heads up. The unique collection of antiques is very impressive. If you visit the Vatican museums regularly, then in my opinion you will not leave every time without new impressions. Not only do you need to know this, you also need to see it.
