2 to 10 hours (approximately)

The Vatican, one of the most well-known sites on earth, frequently has queues that last longer than three hours. A skip-the-line ticket is a clear choice for tourists with limited time because it allows them to spend less time waiting and more time admiring the Sistine Chapel's ceilings. With this flexible option, you can select a time slot that works for your schedule. A multimedia documentary that vividly depicts ancient Rome, including what the city looked like during the Roman Empire, can also offer another exciting element to your day.

    Vatican Museums

    Among the many excellent Vatican Museums is the Museum of Vatican History. In 1973, Pope Paul established the Historical Museum for the first time. The collection was housed in a square garden below ground level. It wasn't until March 1991 that it was once more open to the public, being moved to the Lateran Apostolic Palace's main floor in 1987. Pope Julius II established the Vatican City Museums for the first time in 1503. From the private collections of affluent families, the museum's collection of artworks expanded to include public holdings from the future pope and subsequent popes.

    Sistine Chapel

    Most explorations of the Vatican Museums end at the crown jewel, the Sistine Chapel, a particularly sacred site, as it’s where new popes are elected. Of course, you’re there to see Michelangelo’s legendary frescoes, The Creation of Adam on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on on the wall.
