Vatican City Museum and Sistine Chapel - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Musei Vaticani)

The only way to get into Vatican City (Without knowing somebody on the inside) is to take a tour of the museum and/or gardens. We walked around the entire perimeter of the city state and there were only THREE entrances. One via Saint Peter's Basilica in Saint Peter's Square, one for the museum (Entrance and Exit) and a 27/7 guarded entrance for vehicles (Not far from the museum entrance). There is literally a 30-50 foot wall with heavy security everywhere else! Very unique and interesting place!

The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani) are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Popes throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world.

Pope Julius II founded the museums in the early 16th century. The Sistine Chapel with its ceiling decorated by Michelangelo and the Stanze di Raffaello decorated by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums. In 2013, they were visited by 6 million people, which combined makes it the 6th most visited art museum in the world.[1]

There are 54 galleries, or sale, in total, with the Sistine Chapel, notably, being the very last sala within the Museum. It is one of the largest museums in the world.

The Vatican Museums are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries.

Vatican City (Listeni/ˈvætᵻkən ˈsɪti/; Italian: Città del Vaticano [tʃitˈta ddel vatiˈkaːno]; Latin: Civitas Vaticana),[d] officially Vatican City State or the State of Vatican City (Italian: Stato della Città del Vaticano;[e] Latin: Status Civitatis Vaticanae),[f] is a walled enclave within the city of Rome. With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 842,[3] it is the smallest state in the world by both area and population.

Within Vatican City are religious and cultural sites such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. They feature some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. The unique economy of Vatican City is supported financially by the sale of postage stamps and tourist mementos, fees for admission to museums, and the sale of publications.

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.

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!

Rome in a Day - Do it Yourself tour ????

A great place to start is the Termini Station, which is easily accessible by Metro. I always book my hotel near Termini for its great flexibility to the Metro and trains throughout Italy and the Fiumicino Airport.

Head South West on via Cavour for less than 5 minutes for the first stop, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore – a 5th century church with gilded ceiling and majestic works of art. The basilica is the largest catholic church in Rome outside of the Vatican. Typically, a 15 minute stop should to the trick.

Continue South west along via Cavour, following the bend to the right, for about 15 minutes where you will intersect with via Dei Fori Imperiali, turn left towards the Coliseum. With your advanced ticket purchase, you’ll use the short line for pre-purchased tickets – this should take about 5 minutes. When entering the Coliseum, head upwards into the stadium. An hour should be ample time to explore and take photos.

When exiting the Coliseum, head south towards the Arch of Constantine then west up the roadway to the Forum. After entering the gates, the Arch of Titus is straight ahead – celebrating the 1st century victories of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. Spending about an hour you can walk the grounds of the Forum and ascend the palatine hill for some great views of modern Rome.

From the center of the Forum, exit through the North East exit onto via dei Fori Imperiali and cross the street. Head north west along Trajan’s Forum and past Trajan’s column ending at the Alter of the Fatherland, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. This landmark was completed in 1925 in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.

Now head North on via dei Corso and follow the signs to the Trevi Fountain – there are several places here where you can get some food on the go.

Arriving at the Trevi Fountain, you’ll want to push your way through the crowds to get to the edge of the fountain for the obligatory coin toss over your shoulder – ensuring your future return to Rome. You’ll want to spend about 15 minutes here.

Heading west, follow the side streets to the Pantheon – generally, lines move quickly here and exploring the inside of the Pantheon will take about 20 minutes.

Continue westward towards Piazza Navona, following the signs. In Piazza Navona, there are several fountains and an Egyptian obelisk located in the center – cafes and restaurants surround the perimeter of the square, but be warned, the amazing atmosphere does significantly affect pricing.

Head westward along the winding streets lined with restaurants and then northward (keeping right) towards the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Cross the bridge over the Tiber to the Castel Sant’Angelo.

Keeping left, head West towards St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City. When entering the main square, keep to the right for the entrance into St. Peter’s. You’ll spend about 30-45 minutes in the Basilica where you’ll be overcome by the grandeur of the architecture and marvel in the incredible works of art, including the Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo.

Heading out of St. Peter’s, head towards the large obelisk in the center of the square and then turn left, or north, up the street, taking another left at the corner of the Wall to the Vatican. Here you will enter the Vatican Museums where you will see well know masterpieces from throughout the centuries, including works by Raphael and the Sistine Chapel paintings by Michelangelo. Although this museum is huge, you can march through it in about an hour and a half.

Heading East, a 25 minute walk back across the Tiber to the Piazza Popolo where you can climb the stairs to the Terrazza del Pincio for a great view of Rome at the edge of the Borghese gardens.

Head South East towards the Spanish Steps where there is plenty of luxury shopping and a great selection of restaurants for dinner. As the night turns darker, head south towards the Trevi Fountain for a completely different experience and an evening Gelato.

WALKING TOUR OF ROME AND VATICAN CITY | Travel Vlog

In the final part of mine and Lee's journey around Italy, we visited Rome. It was a great trip and quite possibly the place where we have done the most walking out of any of our holidays. The city is stunning and we couldn't miss out on taking in the Coliseum, the Vatican, the Pantheon and more. We were proper tourists battling against the scorching heat but we're so glad we got to stay there. It's also one of the only cities where we have properly checked out the gay district - and we're glad we did with quite possibly the strongest Long Island iced teas we have ever had.

Be sure to check out parts 1 and 2 of our trip on our channel.
