Amazing building drenched with history. A must visit in Rome. Beautiful interior with exquisite artwork. The Vatican is huge. Must spend at least a few hours here to fully appreciate it all.

An informative guided tour round the Vatican Museum culminated in a visit to Michelangelo's masterpiece. Although this is a sacred place, the crowds of tourists gawping at the wondrous ceiling and walls tends to negate any sense of spirituality. The "guards" on duty regularly called for silence and ordered people not to take photos but generally this was in vain.

Is worth seeing and is beautiful! However I found it hard to believe it was a church, so many tourists chatting and pointing... security herding people like cattle....only slight respectful thing was that you weren’t allowed to take photos... If going to marvel at the art you will enjoy.. if going to find a spiritual element, prepare to be disappointed.

AMAZING!!! is about the only word I can think of. Recommend using the "Roman Guy" tour to get in early and beat the crowd. Unfortunately you can't take pictures but you can sit against the wall and look for hours.

Sistine Chapel is amazing. Pay a little extra for small group tour makes the experience more enjoyable. Knees and shoulders must be covered for the chapel!!! This surprised some people and they were not allowed access.
