Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

About

The route through the Vatican Museums is long by design, tapestry galleries and map corridors that build toward the Sistine Chapel ceiling at the end, and a guide who knows the shortcuts saves real time on a route that can otherwise take half a day. St Peter's Basilica sits just beyond the exit and is usually included on the same walk. Book a timed morning slot, the standalone queue outside the museum entrance is the single longest line in Rome most days.
