To visit Rome and not visit the Museums of the Vatican - it's like to visit Moscow and not to visit Red Square. Roman and Greek sculptures, Rafael halls, an Egyptian hall with a mummy, who more than four thousand years, the Sistine Chapel with a dome painted by Michelangelo - all this daily attracts thousands of tourists. In order not to spoil yourself the pleasure of visiting the treasury of world culture, it is better to take care of tickets in advance.
Strengthen the queue
Vatican museums are one of the most visited attractions in the world. Regardless of the time of year, holidays, weather conditions there are always a lot of people and there are always big queues at the box office. But we passed in 5 minutes, completely without losing time in the queues. We just need to plan a trip to Rome in advance, not be lazy to go to the official website of museums and order tickets. We did not even have to pay for a ticket right away. On the site you book the date and time of your visit to museums. It will be necessary to come, it will be necessary to clearly in time, otherwise the reservation is canceled, and welcome to a common line. With the order form you will pass on a special passage straight to the ticket offices that serve visitors with armor. Buying a ticket and climb the stairs above, to the beginning of all excursions. Here you will have the opportunity to choose your route and buy audio guide in Russian. I highly recommend this, because otherwise the Vatican museums can be lost.
Audible
Depending on the number of time you have and your preferences, you can choose one of four routes, durability from an hour to five. We chose a two-hour route, but really stayed in museums from eight in the morning to four o'clock in the evening. The charm of the audio guide is that you can stop it at any time and carefully consider what you are interested. It is worth an audio guide five euros.Spring in Vatican
We were delighted with the Vatican museums not only because the richest collections of sculptures, paintings and other exhibits are collected here, but also because there are amazingly beautiful gardens and an inner courtyard, where you can relax, breathe air and admire the magnificent Apostolic Palace. We were here in the spring, and in warm weather under the rays of the Sun sculpture and the palace looked especially impressive!
