  • Favorite Thing: I love the place -- it's just so beautiful, you've got to see it for yourself.

    It's full of history, lovely and majestic and awe-inspiring architecture...

    You'd get to see famous artwork by Michaelangelo -- The Pieta and the ceiling of The Sistine Chapel!

    Take a underground walk of the vaults where the previous popes are laid to rest...

    Fondest Memory: I was really amazed at the size of the place as well as the hugeness of St. Peter's.

    I really enjoyed the Vatican museums and I'm happy we didn't pay for a guided trip with a tour for this museum.

    There isn't a need to, save that money to buy a souvenir booklet -- it's more worth it.

    The trick is to go in and stand near a tour group and listen to the explanations given about that particular art work -- you'd easily find many such groups once you're inside the museum.
