Vatican City in 4 Hours

#1 tip for visiting the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel: BUY YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE!

We purchased our tickets online a couple days before. Let me tell you, when you get there, you walk right past the huge line that wraps around the block and straight into the museum. This is the best feeling when the temperature outside is close to 100 degrees and very sunny.

Since we only had a few hours at the Vatican, we walked through the museum and straight to the Sistine Chapel.

It was AMAZING. I couldn’t believe how gorgeous the ceiling was. 

Remember to have your shoulders and knees covered. If you didn’t do that like us, they will give you a cloth to cover yourself. 

Since we were so limited on time, we couldn’t go into St. Peter’s Basilica. However, it was so cool to see it from the outside.

Now we had to catch a train to Florence! A super short but sweet trip to the Vatican. Hope to visit again someday!
