Vatican Museums

Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums are 10 museums that house important works of art from before the Christian era. It is a journey through the history of art, and how it has evolved over 2,000 years, it is important to note that the Vatican Museums are known for hosting the major artworks (considered by experts), as the most important in the world, not only for the majesty of the work but for what it represents, for the artistic work, for the time invested in it, we speak of the Sistine Chapel, the genius Michelangelo Buonarroti.

It is for this reason that all visitors go directly to the Sistine Chapel. But the Vatican Museums are much more than just the Sistine Chapel. In our itineraries, we will guide you through a route so you do not miss other emblematic works, and of such renowned artists as Rafaello, Caravaggio, Leonardo Da Vinci and other great geniuses of the magical world of art.

In general the means of transport work well, there is not much control on the buses and the tram, so people get on without passing the ticket. The inspectors sometimes pass controlling and can put fines, it is not common, but I know of some who have had the bad experience. The ticket is worth 1.50 euros. It serves 100 minutes to use it in the different transports, that is to say, I use it only once in the subway and then if I use the bus I can go up again with that ticket. (within 100 minutes).
