Rome's Vatican & Sistine Chapel Tour: How to Avoid the Crowds
Imagine standing in the Sistine Chapel, with just a handful of people around. Or walking through the Vatican City Museums with not one other soul... It is possible!
On our trip to Rome, we wanted to see as much of Vatican City's highlights, without the thousands of tourists, long waits and jampacked rooms. I am so happy that we took this small group tour with LivItaly because we actually got to learn a lot and ENJOY our experience.
You wake up EARLY but it is all worth it when you meet your guide--Giulia was amazing--and then you walk into the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel in the quiet hours of the morning before they are even open to the public!

Taking a Tour of The Vatican City, Rome, Italy
Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica & Vatican Museum at The Vatican City Express Tour | Travel Vlog
After having visiting endless cathedrals, churches across Europe, we were finally going to visit the home of the pope- The Vatican City. It was the last day in the Italian capital Rome and we had booked ourselves on The Vatican City Express Tour with The Roman Guy.
We took a metro to the Vatican and reached the Vatican museum entrance early in the morning. We met our guide who had taken care of our tickets and took us through the exclusive express entry gate.
Without spending too much time waiting in the lines, we were ready to explore the papal state of Vatican. Giving us an insight into the buildings, sculptures and key rooms of the Vatican, we were taken to the Sistine Chapel to gaze at the marvel.
We concluded our tour at the St. Peter’s Basilica and getting a further insight into the history of Catholic Christians, the lifestyle of the pope and the functioning of the Vatican.
In just half a day, we were a lot knowledgeable than we were when we entered for our tour of the Vatican City!

Vatican City ???????? Rome Tourist Guide - Travel & Discover
The Vatican City is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state (a type of theocracy) ruled by the pope who is, religiously speaking, the bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergy of various national origins. Since the return of the popes from Avignon in 1377, they have generally resided at the Apostolic Palace within what is now Vatican City, although at times residing instead in the Quirinal Palace in Rome or elsewhere.

VATICAN CITY MUSEUMS TOUR GUIDE - MUST SEE IN ROME ITALY
THE VATICAN MUSEUMS ROME
Close to St Peter's Basilica are the corridors of the Vatican Museums that attract 4 million people every year from all over the world. A marvelous journey that will take us through a constellation of 13 museums and see some of the greatest treasures of humanity.
They present the preserved and extraordinary legacy of culture, history, and beauty that the Roman Pontiffs have collected and preserved for centuries: this is the mission of the Vatican Museums today.
The Vatican Museums are plural as they are a complex of different collections, all extraordinarily important. Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman, Christian, and epigraphic, paintings of several centuries and the great Renaissance of Raphael and Michelangelo in the “Rooms” and the Sistine Chapel. And then there are the decorative arts, the ethnological collections, the historical collections, the carriages and the papal berlins, up to modern and contemporary art.
A dynamic museum where tradition and innovation find a perfect synthesis, able to render concrete what the Roman Church has pursued for centuries in her cultural institutions.
Tradition, to be dated back to Pope Julius II, to that 1506 which saw the creation of the “Courtyard of the Statues”, the most celebrated in Rome at the time, in the heart of the Vatican Belvedere. Then, the great museum era of the eighteenth century, passing through Canova and reaching, with Pope Pius XI in the aftermath of the Lateran Treaty of 1929, an organic and effective institutional order for the Museums, made accessible to the world via the portal opened in the Vatican Walls. Tradition that is protection, restoration, conservation and enhancement of the collections through study, research, teaching, international projects, conferences and exhibitions.
Innovation, which is indispensable today for the functioning of an Institution that receives millions of visitors each year, and where thousands of people, employees and collaborators, work every day. Innovation that enables the Museums collections to be appreciated in a dynamic and current way, and which through this new web site enables the most remote places of our world to be reached.
It is my hope that every visitor who enters the Vatican Museums is pervaded by that sense of privilege at finding oneself inside the Beauty that leads to Faith, and that this digital tool may also be a vehicle for knowledge, harmony and spirituality.
Pinecone Courtyard. The pinecone fountain is made out of bronze and was found near the Pantheon but was originally on top of Hadrian's mausoleum, water use to pour out of the scales.
The 2 bronze peacocks on each side also came from the Mausoleum.

The Top Ten Things to See in the Vatican Museums
10. The Egyptian Gallery - The collection is so interesting because of the relationship between the Roman Empire and Egypt. As you might know, Mark Antony and Julius Caesar both had relations with Cleopatra. The collection occupies five rooms; plan to spend about 25 minutes in each.
9. Vatican Gardens - Take a stroll past innumerable grottoes, antiquities and world-class landscaping. Did you know there are 100 fountains in the Vatican Gardens? Unlike the Vatican Museums, the gardens are never crowded. One way to access the Vatican Gardens by booking a full-day tour of the Vatican Museums, Gardens and Castle Gandolfo with The Roman Guy.
8. Pinacoteca - The Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery) is one of the more modern sections of the Vatican Museums and is often overlooked. Get up close and personal to 460 works of art, painted by the likes of Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, Leonardo, Guido Reni and Giotto.
7. Pinecone Courtyard - Named after the colossal bronze pinecone that once stood near the Pantheon next to the Temple of Isis, the Pinecone Courtyard was designed by Donato Bramante. From here catch an amazing view of St. Peter's Dome. Sometimes the guards let you spin the giant fractured sphere sculpture in the center of the spacious courtyard.
6. Pio-Clementino Museum - The Vatican's Pio-Clementino Museum is one of Rome's best collections of ancient Greek and Roman statues. In the octagonal Belvedere Courtyard, check out the Apollo Belvedere, Laocoön and His Sons and the Belvedere Torso. Then visit the biggest and oldest bathtubs you’ll ever see. Nero's Bathtub measures an incredible 25 ft in diameter. The red marble it is made from is so rare, there is no way to recreate it today.
5. The Vatican's Main Galleries - The Gallery of the Candelabra, Gallery of the Tapestries and our personal favorite, the Gallery of the Maps. The painted frescoes of maps reveal how Renaissance Italians saw themselves and their surroundings. Predating a unified Italy by nearly 300 years, the Gallery of Maps shows the length and breadth of the peninsula circa 1580.
4. St. Peter's Square - If you're not planning on visiting the Vatican Museums during your trip to Rome, at least come here. This is one of the most famous and breathtaking squares in the world and the largest, open area of Rome. The piazza is encased by two massive arms comprised of four rows of colonnades. As you walk up to the square, it looks like two massive arms welcoming you.
3. Raphael Rooms - Raphael was one of Rome's most famous Renaissance artists who encompassed all the ideals of a Renaissance man. He designed and frescoed multiple rooms connected to the Vatican Museums. Among other masterpieces, visit one of Raphael’s most famous works of art, The School of Athens.
2. St. Peter's Basilica - Don't miss this! St. Peter's Basilica is a massive church filled with artwork from some of the most celebrated artists in history. Enter through a special door and skip the lines to get the most opulent church in the world. Once inside, admire masterpieces that include the La Pieta, Il Baldacchino, La Pieta, the statue of St. Peter and much more.
1. Sistine Chapel - Since the chapel is inside the museums, entrance is included in your Vatican tour. Now that the chapel is restored, every detail and color used in the treasured work of art is visible. Only when you are inside, is it clear why it is one of the Sistine Chapel is one of the most celebrated works of art in Western civilization.

This time around I'm taking you on a journey through the Vatican´'s main attractions including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica (including the rooftop of the basilica), the Vatican museums, the history and the most famous pieces of art of this unique country.

Our second day in Rome started with a 6:30 am jog from our AirBnB apartment in Trastevere to the Pantheon. We were overwhelmed by the number of tourists we encountered on our first day in beautiful Rome, so we thought we'd try to see a site or two bright and early when we rightly assumed that everyone else would be sleeping. ;)
We think an early morning walk or jog is the best way to see the city! There's little traffic and even fewer tourists. We had both the Pantheon and Piazza Navona pretty much to ourselves! The only downside of course is that it was too early to go inside the Pantheon.
We spent the rest of the day visiting the Colosseum and Vatican. We highly recommend purchasing your tickets online! That way you can avoid long lines, especially at the Colosseum. For the Vatican City Museum, you can purchase a voucher online and exchange it for a ticket at the Museum.
To our dismay both the Colosseum and Forum were closed - without prior notification - until 11:30 am due to an official government-sponsored event. Fortunately, much of the Forum is visible from the public sidewalks. In addition, there are several other spectacular monuments all within walking distance of the Colosseum and Forum including Trajan's Column and the Vittorio Emmanuel II Monument. We also took this opportunity to walk back to the Pantheon and go inside.
The Vatican City Museum is a treasure trove of art! Because of our delays getting into the Colosseum, we sadly had to rush through the Museum. But what we saw was breathtaking! It was also amazing to see the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in-person!
From the Museum, it's a short five or so minute walk to the Vatican City where we headed straight to St. Peter's Basilica. We arrived around 5:15 pm, and the light inside the Basilica was stunning! We paid 7 Euro per person to take the elevator + 320 steps to the Dome. The alternative is to pay 5 Euro per person to ascend completely on foot via 551 steps. The 360-degree views of Rome from the Dome are gorgeous!
We enjoyed a simple pasta dinner followed by our daily serving of gelato! We ended the day with a walk along the Tiber River back to our place in Trastevere. The monuments and bridges around the river are beautifully lit up at night!
As always, many thanks for watching!!
