Seeing the Vatican should be at the top of your list of things to do while on vacation if you're going to be in Rome. The Vatican, the seat of Catholicism and the smallest nation on earth, is home to some of the most well-known historical treasures, sculptures, paintings, and other works of art in the world.

Here are just some of the reasons you should book a tickets of the Vatican:

Time-saving and Personalise the experience

The benefit of purchasing a ticket for the Vatican is that you will be able to bypass the crowds and have direct access to all of the museums and galleries, saving hours of time that would have been wasted waiting in a long and uncomfortable public admission queue! Not only will a private tour help you avoid the queue, but it will also save you time in other ways. For instance, all visitors must go through a brief security check before they can enter the Vatican.

Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel was first decorated with a blue ceiling painting that was adorned with gilded stars and had ornamental borders surrounding the pendentives' architectural elements. When Michelangelo arrived to work on the ceiling in 1508, this was completely replaced. One cannot have a realistic sense of what one man is capable of achieving without seeing the Sistine Chapel.Goethe, Johann Wolfgang, August 23, 1787 This piece has been and still is a lighthouse of our art, and it has benefited and enlightened painting to such an extent that it was enough to light up a world that had been in darkness for hundreds of years.To tell the truth, Michelangelo gave this piece all the perfection that can be provided to such elements, so any painter no longer has to worry about seeing new inventions and innovations, new ways of painting positions, clothing on figures, and other breathtaking features.
