The Vatican is one of those places that lives up to every expectation but only if you're not spending the first half of your visit standing in a line that stretches around the block. That's exactly what these tickets help you avoid.
With skip-the-line access, you go straight to the reserved entrance and start right away. From there, the Vatican Museums open up in front of you room after room of art and history that took centuries to put together. Galleries of ancient sculpture, rooms painted by Raphael, and dozens of collections that most people rush past on their way to the main event.
And then there's the Sistine Chapel. No matter how many photos you've seen, being in that room in person is something else entirely. Michelangelo painted that ceiling between 1508 and 1512, and it still feels impossible today.

Worth knowing: modest dress is required, shoulders and knees covered.

The Vatican is closed on Sundays except the last one of the month.
