Tourist Trap: The Sistine Chapel.....

Ok, ok, yes the Sistine Chapel is amazing, and really belongs in the Must See category....but I must admit that I was personally disappointed when I visited it. I am not much into art, but I was really really excited to be going to see the famous frescoes painted by Michelangelo. Maybe it was because I was already tired from weeks of site seeing....but to get to the "famous" frescoes we had to walk for about half an hour through the museum, yes there was some impressive stuff, but I wasn't really into it. Then we finally made it to the Chapel. It was really crowded and everyone was standing necks craned looking at the ceiling. I really wanted to take a photo....but no photography allowed. Yes, it was spectacular, but I kind of felt it was an anti-climax....I mean the museum corridors we had just walked through had equally impressive frescoes on their ceilings. I'm sure most of you will disagree, but this is just one girls experience.

At Least Do This: You should go anyway. Just be prepared to trawl through the museum first.

I enjoyed your page on Rome, it was not too technical as some I've seen, more accessable. | Maurizioago Thu Nov 22, 2007 11:26 UTC
Good page. Piazza Barberini; not Berberini. Ciao! |
