    As of 8 Feb 2022, cost of the museum is €17 (approximately $19.50 per adult). Just buy tickets at the desk inside, it's much easier and avoid the €4 online fee to buy in advance. Make sure to bring your covid vaccination card! Yes, they check at the door. We opted out of the audio and guided tours, but if that's your personal preference, it's about €6 or €8 to rent the audio equipment. We just preferred self-guided tour at our own pace. Make sure to use the restroom before you start. There are restrooms throughout the museum, but some are spaced out prefer far and you'll wish you took the chance to go when you can. There's food court and cafeteria at the end, and it's a lot of walking so you'll be hungry. There are also vending machines with drinks and snacks throughout, so you'll appreciate that as well. This is one of the biggest museums I've ever seen in my life. If you take the time to appreciate each piece of historical relic and art, it can take you all day to see everything. There's plenty of cheap souvenirs from tent stand vendors outside, but we picked up a few small things from the museum gift shop. The prices are higher, but not too bad.

    Way to crowded in august. We bought the lunch ticket which is a 19.5€ „full italian lunch“ and it was a complete joke. You get your meal in one way beverage in a big crowded food court without any windows. If you want to go there get your tickets online and be there early or pretty late.

    One of the great Museums of the entire World. Obviously, purchase your ticket ahead of time, online. There are so many pieces, paintings and artifacts that its important to have a plan on the things that you do want to see, hence do some research ahead of time and see where the pieces you like are located. The visit will take you at least 3 hours so wear comfortable shoes.

    Oh my goodness this is a must see when in Rome! I would highly recommend doing the guided tour, because you hear and learn so much more and they give the history and stories behind so much that you are about to see. Our tour guide was amazing and answered all of our questions. She was amazing. The artwork that is here is just spectacular and the art that is on the ceilings, and walls as well as the sculptures, stained glass, paintings, other historical objects is just amazing. To hear the history and how each pope made their contributions to the place and museum. The gardens, the buildings, the rooms full of precious art and sculptures, the Sistine Chapel, and so much more is so awe inspiring. This is truly a must see for everyone. I would advise you that in the summer, it can be quite hot and many of the rooms are not air conditioned so do it early in the hotter months, but it is still worth seeing this awe inspiring place. Take your time and see all that there is here to see, there is a lot and it is amazing. Truly worth your time and effort to see this. We highly recommend it and would do it again when in the area.

    This museum is so beautiful and huge that you need a lot of time in order to walk its hallways. It takes about 8 kilometers to walk the whole museum, no joke. Also, in order to avoid long lines to get in the museum it is better to get your tickets online.

    We really enjoyed this place. The history is fantastic. We booked a tour in advance. It was $40 pp through the official site. I definitely recommend that. There were so many works of art and great history to see. I would definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Enes E. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely a must see museum. You can come across thousands of years old ruins, statues and even mummy. There are so many historical artifacts worth seeing.I devoted almost half of my day to this museum. The Sistine chapel is also one of the places worth seeing. There are fascinating and surprising works that cannot be explained one by one.I was very impressed. I strongly recommend.

    If you don't have a reservation, they will just make you wait A LOT (I think we waited almost two hours) as other people pass by, that was really frustrating. I'm not sure why that happened because there were no queues at the ticket offices. So make sure you book online. Other than that, the museum is huge and so informative! You could easily spend hours here

    Extremely awesome. It is just the heat that was the culprit otherwise totally worth it. Only if they can create more washroom there won't be long lines for the wait, especially for the ladies. The various galleries were awesome showing the epitome of excellence in art and finally when you arrive at the Sistine Chapel, that's a sight to behold and absorb it as much as you can with your eyes, because you know that you're gonna cherish this memory for always.

    The Vatican Museums are extraordinary treasures of history, art, and spirituality that take your breath away from the moment you step inside. It's one of the most remarkable places on earth, where the richness of art, architecture, and history intersects with deep religious spirituality. First and foremost, exploring the Vatican Museums is a journey through centuries of art and culture. Starting from ancient Egypt, through Renaissance masterpieces by Michelangelo and Raphael, to the wealth of modern art collections, these museums offer an unforgettable overview of human history. One should also appreciate the architectural masterpieces of the museum complex itself. Every corridor, hall, and courtyard in the Vatican Museums is a work of art in its own right, blending diverse architectural and decorative styles. However, it's not just the artistic collections that make the Vatican Museums so special. It's also the spiritual atmosphere that permeates these holy walls. Exploring chapels and sanctuaries, from the Sistine Chapel to the Chapel of Nicholas, one experiences an extraordinary connection with the religious history and tradition of the Catholic Church. It's important to note, though, that the Vatican Museums are incredibly popular and often very crowded. Therefore, it's advisable to plan your visit in advance to avoid long queues and crowded spaces, which can disrupt the peace and contemplation. In summary, the Vatican Museums are not only a collection of art and history but also a spiritual experience that stays with every visitor forever. It's a place that must be seen to understand its unparalleled beauty and significance for humanity.

    A must do in Rome. This was better than the Louvre in Paris and is beyond anything I have ever seen in my life. It is captivating and breathtaking, beautiful and gorgeous and a must do bucket list activity in anyone’s life. You must visit it while in Rome, I urge you to, it is worth the money for the ticket. I would strongly recommend buying your ticket in advance and buying an audio guide. The queues to get in are so very long and can take the entire day. Visit it while you can!

    (Translated by Google) One remains speechless for the beauty and magnificence of this place ... works that seem to be real, paintings, paintings, canvases, of a unique beauty that are maintained over time as if they were new ... immersed in art and history c it really is so much to admire ... the Sistine Chapel is breathtakingly beautiful, there are no words to describe it. In this period the visitors are not many and you can admire the whole museum in tranquility .. recommended to everyone, to visit at least once, but even more. (Original) Si rimane senza parole per la bellezza e la magnificenza di questo luogo... opere che sembrano essere reali, quadri, dipinti, tele, di una bellezza unica che si mantengono nel tempo come fossero nuove...immersi nell arte e nella storia c è veramente tanto da poter ammirare... la Cappella Sistina è di una bellezza mozzafiato, non ci sono parole per descriverla. In questo periodo i visitatori non sono tantissimi e si può ammirare in tranquillità tutto il museo..consigliato a tutti, da visitare almeno una volta, ma anche più.

    A one-of-a-kind, once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime kind of of experience. The Vatican museums are massive—bordering on near-endless—and they are gorgeous, on the verge of being indescribable. My tour guide said it would take 12 years to view all of the art they have in these buildings. I believe her—4 hours didn’t feel like enough time. You will be bombarded by miraculous artistic works from every direction for hours. It is honestly a bit overwhelming. If you have the ability, you might want to take two separate visits. You will also want some nice walking shoes! I also recommend drinking an entire bottle of water prior to entering. My favorite parts of the museums were the gallery of maps, the Sistine Chapel, and the Raphael Rooms. Absolutely astonishing works by masters who dedicated years and years to their works.

    Its a must to visit if you are in Rome. Get your skip the line ticket and head to the museum immediately. You will spend 3 to 5 hours at least and u wont feel the time passing. It will always be busy but you can enjoy it anyway. Its just so big so you better understand where are you going and ready a bit earlier to your visit

  • 5/5 Mia B. 2 years ago on Google
    We booked a private tour so there were 6 in our group. Maria Luigia was so sweet & took us through our 2 hour tour quickly but not so much that I felt we missed a lot. If you truly want to see everything then you'd need to make almost a full day of it as there really is so much to see that we didn't get through it all in the 2 hours! Plus, we started our tour just after 6pm so we ended up being some of the last people kicked out at closing time 😄 women must be covered on their shoulders & to their knees to enter the Basilica or the Chapel but 2 girls in the group had backless dresses & we're told they'd need to cover up during the rest of the tour as well. I was surprised at how modern portions of the Vatican were! In the gardens we're coffee shops & modern art. But of course, most was decorated in ancient & historical artifacts. I was also surprised at how much "pagan" influence there was in several parts & in the artistry. Chalk it up to the Roman & Egyptian rule & gifts from other cultures & it explains why there were so many pyramids, Sphinx & nods to Greek gods. The sheer volume of "stuff" is mind boggling! The hall of statues is so long that you can't clearly see the other side of the room. The ceiling paintings & details in all of the alcoves is striking. So basically, take the time, get a tour group & be prepared for whatever the weather throws at you because most of the areas that allow tourists don't have heating/cooling.

    It's definitely worth it. You can spend a 3-4hrs there easy. There is so much stuff, by the end of it, you walk past a 2000 year old statue, and you're like "mid"

    The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel are both overwhelmingly beautiful! You can spend a whole day just in those two buildings! Be careful because you are not allowed to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel, but you can take lots of pictures in the museum. You will walk a lot, up and down stairs and ramps. There are bathrooms and restaurants within the museum. There is a security checkpoint, but we were able to still take a small backpack with small bottled water inside after examined.

    This museum is unbelievable. I highly recommend doing a skip the line deal and going right when it opens. We did a tour which was very educational and made the experience a lot more rich. Every room is absolutely immaculate. I was in awe. You are not allowed to take pictures within the Sistine Chapel though, but honestly it would be impossible to get a good picture anyway, plus not worrying about pictures helps you take it all in.

    The most comprehensive museum I have ever seen, including some of the finest art and historical pieces! You will likely need entire day to fully enjoy it. I suggest getting tickets beforehand. Also know that it will be extremely crowded. We visited end of May, and it was hard to spend time on pieces due to intense tour guide activity.

    A great museum but there are some things to considerate. 1. Book your visit with time, if you don’t have you will spend around 3-4 hours on the line. It’s heavy make it. 2. Inside the museum, all the members are moving you to continue. Very hard to enjoy and get involve into the museum or even take photos. 3. I think 1 fully day dedicated to the museum could be sufficient or preferred to go and visit St. Pietro Basilica. 4. Entrance is 17€ per person without booking. It will be a lot of people asking if you want to buy a guide tour but prices will be very high. 5. For man dress code, it mentioned that shorts should be covering your knees, but it’s not true. A lot of man got in without following that rule. Honestly, today’s short are upper knees and are the normal ones. So, relief yourself and go with it.

    You need to be very careful with the tickets. You can buy even if you haven't from there. Do not believe anyone who tells you that you can't. The cost is nearly 18€ If you take it without a guide from the tours companies it is 40€ and with a guide 70€. Only you need to have time and patience 😉

    A Must Visit when you are in Rome! I can’t still get over how beautiful it was. It was extremely hot (100 degrees when I got there) and I’m so glad we bought “skip the line” tour with guide. We went right in to the side entrance. Even inside the museum was hot, so I highly recommend to purchase tickets in advance. We can’t take a picture in Sistine chapel where Michelangelo’s master piece is. You can sit down at the chapel and really enjoyed the artwork. It’s overwhelmingly beautiful. There are many famous sculptures and artwork you can recognize throughout the museum. We spent about 3 hours there. Due to extreme hot weather and lots of tourists, it’s best to get a skip the line ticket ahead of time.

    For sure one of the highlights of my entire trip to Italy. The Vatican Museums are an absolute must-visit for anyone traveling to Rome. This incredible collection of art and historical artifacts offers a deep dive into the rich cultural and religious heritage of the Vatican and beyond. Masterpieces from some of the greatest artists in history all collected here. The galleries are filled with interesting sculptures, paintings, and tapestries that span centuries. Highlights include the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, and, of course, the breathtaking Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s iconic ceiling. The museums are well-organized, and the flow of the exhibits makes it easy to navigate through the vast collection. Makes it easy to flow with all the tourists passing through. The audio guides and informative plaques provide valuable context and enhance the overall experience. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains reverent and awe-inspiring, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of the artworks.

    First and foremost, I recommend choosing a less crowded period for your visit. Be sure to purchase tickets online and make a timed reservation. If you go during a busy time, you won't enjoy it due to the crowds. It's a fantastic museum with a 500-year-old history, unlike any other in the world. Not only are the exhibited works remarkable, but each of the 54 galleries that house them shines like a work of art in itself. One of the unique aspects of the Vatican Museums is that many of the works inside have been unquestionably acquired, gifted, or placed under protection. The event that truly paved the way for the establishment of the museums was the discovery of the Laocoön and His Sons sculpture. The Pope purchased this sculpture to be displayed. While there were some acquisitions before this event, it served as a crucial building block for the continuation of the process. Inside, you'll see more than just historical artifacts. My favorites include the Round Hall, which Michelangelo designed to mimic the Pantheon, and the Raphael Rooms, where you'll be captivated by the School of Athens.

    This whole place is incredible. The amount of art work all over the place is breathtaking. I’m not into art at all but this place is seriously impressive. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance as the queue for tickets was insanely long and in the 39 degree heat. The whole place takes hours to get around so is well worth the ticket money.

    Very interesting museum Perhaps the most interesting You better take with you a guide otherwise you can not understand a lot The only practice that i didn’t like in the museum is that all the statues are placed without any order. Also you must know that the most of the statues are copies!!! Capela Sistine is for sure the pick of your tour Arrange the ticket at list one month before

  • 5/5 Florian Graefe A. 2 months ago on Google • 230 reviews New
    Unbedingt (!) vorher online die Tickets erwerben und, zur Sicherheit, ausgedruckt dabei haben. Es stimmt, man braucht knapp 4 Stunden um entspannt alles zu sehen. Das Restaurant des vatikanischen Museums ist allerdings teuer im Vergleich zur Quantität und Qualität, man sollte also nicht hungrig reingehen. Ebensowenig kann man die Tür zur Basilika des Petersdoms nutzen, da sie nur noch für geführte Touren durchgängig ist. Das Museum an sich ist absolut sehenswert!

    Vatican Museums is one of the museums I want to see in the world. So I was so excited when I was there even a very long walk after we got off the bus. The museum is enormous. There are a lot of beautiful murals and ceiling paintings. My eyes were too busy in there. Plus all the statues, paintings, and lots of priceless treasures in there. We don’t have enough time to see everything I want to see!

    The art on display is awesome-inspiring. However be warned that it gets busy and hot, and there’s no scope for only sampling some of the rooms. You have to follow a course all the way round. It can be exhausting, and a bit of a brain overload. Book tickets online in advance. With these we had no wait at all to get in, even on a Saturday at the end of July.

    Breathtakingly stunning and surreal. Was on my bucket list, and the photos won't do it justice. I was completely in awe. It's a must when in Rome. Queues can be long. Make sure you get tickets from the official site or inside the museum.

    This was an amazing tour. There is overwhelming art and history that fills every each of the museum, whether it's the walls or the ceilings, you will be blown away. Truly beautiful experience. The tour took about 4 hours. It would have taken long, but we sort of tried to rush through as it was our last day in Rome. After paying, you are given a map that helps you navigate through. Make sure to hold onto the map, it definitely comes in handy. When in Rome, this should definitely be a place to visit. Get there early, wear comfortable shoes and get ready to soak in al the Museum has to offer. Be sure to carry a good camera. They allow photography in all rooms except the Sistine Chapel as it is considered holy.

    The most incredible tour I have ever taken. The tour is true sensory overload as no matter where you look, the floors, walls or ceiling you are flooded with beautiful works of art. Tour package includes a visit to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Buy tickets in advance as this is a must in Rome.

    We came at 12pm on Tuesday. Due to covid the queue was tiny and it only took 5 minutes to get in. Its the perfect time to visit the Vatican Museums. We bought are ticket online and reserved our time for 12pm. You go through security then go to the first floor to exchange your voucher into a ticket. A bit of advice before you go to the queue to enter the museum: just ignore everybody asking you questions outside, they are trying to scam you. They pretend to be friendly but they are not. Just book your ticket online then go straight to the queue. The museum is full of beautiful art which is beyond comprehension. It is too much to see in one day, you will get overloaded. Each room has an incredible amount of detail. We were fortunate especially that it was jammed full of people, I can imagine that would ruin the experience. You have to visit this if you are in Rome. The price of the ticket is nothing for the art you get to see. There is also a variety or sculptures/art from other countries. You can see in one of my pictures, some sculptures that look like they came from Buddhist temples in Indonesia (I'm not sure where they actually came from).

    This museum is a must see, but not without the Rick Steves audioguide. If you've visited the British Museum or the Smithsonian or the Louvre, you know it's impossible to see it all without a plan, now imagine those crowds tripled, and you've got the Vatican Museums. All the visitors follow one long winding walk through the museum, so there is no way to escape into a quiet sideroom. I'd recommend going to St. Peter's first thing, then getting to the museums right when they open. The audioguide gives you a great way to make sense of an enormous amount of art and history, and helps you really understand how art developed over time. Without it, you'll be lost and overwhelmed. Although this is an absolute must see, you also need to prep yourself for a disappointing visit to the Sistine Chapel. Visitors are packed in like sardines and the security is constantly yelling at people - not so magical. Instead, take your time appreciating the rest of the art, and recognize that the grand finale, is not so grand

    Year 2013 - Awesome Museum Year 2013.I remember that day. Painting works so amazing. Excellent Roman Masterpieces. Awesome paintings, statues, then it looked so lively and so intricate details of the statues. Worth the visit. My words wont be enough to describe its beauty ....History worth studying.To understand and enjoy the beauty of Architecture you need to walk a lot under the sun to admire the stunning work.

    The Vatican museums is Definitely a must visit but just know there’s a lot of walking and a ton of people everywhere. There are many parts to the museum some more interesting than others. On a hot day it could be too much and in the summer time it will be hot, very hot. There is a lot to take in a ton of stuff before you get to the main attraction the Sistine chapel ceiling. Which is of course jammed packed with people from all over just like you waiting to take in the wonder. I went in the middle of July so of course that’s to be expected but that many people and the heat kinda takes away from the beautiful that is the sistine chapel ceiling … kinda. I still recommend you visit buy your tickets in advance and enjoy. I’ve seen it once, took a bunch of photos. You’re not allowed to take any in the Sistine Chapel. There’s security guards everywhere trained to spot the rule breaks. You also have to have your knees and shoulders covered but no one seemed to really enforce that rule. I’m in no rush to go back to the Vatican Museums but it’s definitely something you should do.

    I would review it better because the museum itself was gorgeous, but the massive and dozens of tourist groups that push and shove and stand right in the middle of already crowded hallways really ruined a lot of the experience. They’re definitely allowing too many people in small spaces at one time. Also, there are no places to sit for hours so by the time you’re done you can hardly walk.

    I recommend going with a tour guide 100%. You learn so much more! The architecture & art is breathtaking. It so incredible to see how these people built & made all of this from scratch. Every room you’re taken to will leave you in awe. All the rooms are head to toe dripped in hand painted art which is so insane. I recommend going early in the morning, even then there was a huge crowd in every room we went into. It also has a decent cafe inside at the very end. There are a few gift shops before you hit the one on the end, I say they’re all similar maybe a few different gifts at each. The tickets also includes your entrance to the basilica. If you are a into catholic art, I would highly recommend going here.

    Magnificent and so much history and beauty to take in. The skip-line-tickets are worth it! Go early before it gets too crowded. Audio guides for €8 are a wealth of information and makes sense of what you’re seeing and you can wander at your own pace.

    One of those "Pinch me" moments where it's nearly unbelievable to see what you're seeing. If you don't like crowds, this is NOT for you. Even with a tour group, we were basically moving along with the sea of people. Additionally, since there are so many people and groups visiting every day, museum staff and security are there to make sure there is no stopping, standing, or carefully curated photo ops. Just be ready for an "on the fly" motion shot, and you'll be good!

    Definitely a must see if your in Rome, if you take your time and really take it all in you could make a day of it. I wouldn't say it's very wheelchair or buggy friendly. We had a buggy with us so it's doable but there is lots of stairs to carry it up and back down again. There's a restaurant on the green outside which does sandwiches, paninis, pasta dishes etc.

    The museum was terrific. The entrance was so random. Have to wait and queue for almost half an hour. It was too crowded and the security guy didn’t know how to scan the bar code in the ticket!!! I booked online ticket to skip lines and not to waste time but this is what happened. I don’t recommend it in summer as the weather is so hot and many visitors are there.

    The statues are great, but unless you're into tapestries and flooring, skip those areas. Our tour was 3 hours and would highly recommend skipping the tapestry areas and cut an hour off the tour. Possibly do the self guided tour and go at your own place instead of a group.

    The most beautiful museums in the world, you can find here. An amazing collection of different regions in the world. The art is unbelievable and stunning. Most definitely buy tickets in advance, you do not want to be stuck in line here for hours. Our skip the line tickets got us in very quickly. There's only a wait at the security check.

    There is no way this place has less than five ⭐️. People who dared to put less must haven’t chosen a guided tour, which would be crazy because YOU MUST take one before entering. These museums need storytelling. It is simply majestic and Breathtaking. You’ll be submerged by stunning colors and history while visiting. You could feel overwhelmed by the crowd, but if you focus on the guide's speech, the sculptures, frescoes, and paintings will make you forget about the people around you.

    Visité en mai 2023. C'est l'une de mes meilleures découvertes :) C'est simplement Wow ! L'art porté au summum, les sculptures, tableaux et fresques sont à couper le souffle... Immense collection d'art Egyptien (Sarcophages, Hiéroglyphes, artefacts...) Un passage obligé pour chaque touriste visitant Rome :)

    We had advance tickets, so no wait. Downside first- It is a very long self-guided tour, and it was busy. You get swept up in the tide of people and have to squeeze around the guided tours to get anywhere. It felt very claustrophobic by the time we got toward seeing the Sistine Chapel about 90% of the way through, and my friend had had enough by then, and then there was still lots left and several gift shops. Still, there is A LOT to see and it is rather spectacular. The sheer magnitude and volume of stuff is impressive by itself. The Ancient Egyptian exhibits are amazing and very interesting. The views are very much worth seeing too. Extremely impressive galleries. It's definitely worth it if you're into museums, artifacts, history, or art. And mummies.

    I was really excited to come here, but there were so many people inside that it made the visit overwhelming. It felt like staff were simply trying to push us through a never-ending maze. I would not recommend coming here during the high season. I'm glad we purchased our tickets in advance though because we didn't have to wait in the really long line wrapped around the building. If you do visit, I would recommend a tour guide because without it, things don't fully make sense.

    Amazing museum having wonderful painting excelling in art. Gives very good idea about the functioning of Vatican and the Hon Pope. The Vatican Museums are the public art and sculpture museums in the Vatican City. They display works from the immense collection amassed by the Catholic Church which Popes had accumulated over the time and the papacy throughout the centuries including several of the most renowned Roman sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museums contain roughly 70,000 works, of which 20,000 are on display,There are 54 galleries, or sale, in total, with the Sistine Chapel. These Museums have been included in the list of the most important museums in the world and visiting them represent an essential stage for those who visit Rome. Vatican Museums opened their doors in the 16th century and are currently visited by more than 6 million people each year. At the moment the Vatican Museums have 4 different routes to see the different galleries and break up a little the large number of visitors, all these routes are full of works of art and end in the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo Buonarroti, one of the most famous Renaissance artists in the world, dedicated almost ten years of his life to the paintings that cover the vault and the wall on the altar of the Sistine Chapel The Sistine Chapel is located inside the Vatican Museums and is an essential visit if you go to Rome and Vatican City, an unforgettable experience that you can not miss. Visiting the Vatican Museums is a unique experience that must be experienced at least once in a lifetime. This visit is a long and interesting trip that will fill you with emotions through more than twenty centuries of history and art. The Sistine Chapel, the rooms of Raphael and the art gallery (Pinacoteca) are only part of a large number of priceless collections. You can buy the museums ticket online and follow the audio guide or visit these wonderful museums within a small private tour. Please please don't miss this visit and you will love it, remember it for life time.

    Very nice place to visit if you're a history buff, their collection is amazing from the old ruins of Egypt to the art works of famous world renowned artists from the past. And of course the religious relics on their possessions with tons of history behind it. Best to give it a day to really enjoy and explore the whole place then go to the St. Peter's basilica right after.

    (Translated by Google) You need to come and see everything. Entrance to the museum is paid. Bags are checked at the entrance. In front of St. Peter's Square there are church shops with souvenirs, cafes, coffee machines (not expensive) and toilets (free). Impressions are great from the Vatican Museum and from the entire city-state of the Vatican. A special impression of the "Sistine Chapel", priceless masterpieces created by the incredible titanic work of Michelangelo and his associates. We worship them. An amazing work of human talent. (Original) Потрібно приїхати і все побачити. Вхід в музей платний. На вході перевіряють сумки. Перед площею св'ятого Петра є церковні магазини із сувенірами, кафе, апарати для приготування кави (не дорого) і туалети (безкоштовно). Враження чудові від музею Ватикану і від усієї території міста-держави Ватикан. Особливе враження від "Сикстинської капелли", безцінні шедеври, створені неймовірною титанічною працею Мікеланджело і його сподвижниками. Приклоняємося їм. Дивовижний витвір людського таланту.

The Sistine Chapel is breathtaking and I would highly recommend that you get the audio guide to better understand the story behind the it. Another reason to visit is the shorter lines due to the pandemic. I’ve been many times and it’s never been this empty!

    An absolute Must See. However, it will involve a lot of walking and going down stairs and up stairs…. Fabiola from the Roman Guy was a wonderful tour guide, very considerate and knowledgeable.

    Obviously a must visit location. Arguably one of the greatest museums in the world with one of the greatest contemporary art collections I have ever seen. And of course the building is a work of art in its own right. Make sure to clear your schedule for the day and bring very comfortable shoes. And don’t rush the hall of maps. Probably my favorite part of the museum.

    Very nice complex of museums, the art is explained both in Italian and English, there are lot of bathrooms in the installations which is not commonly seen in Rome. Everything looks clean and well maintained. There are a couple of restaurants and caffe inside but I wouldn’t recommend eating inside. Visiting the museums is an all day trip, it is a long walk but definitely interesting and worth the time and money, the entrance is free for architecture students.

    Very spacious museum (The museum is truly the entire city). I love the Egypt collection even more than the one in Turin. The masterpieces on the wall are awesome. I was speechless when I saw them. I dont think that I have enough energy to absorb the huge knowledge in just one visit, even though I spend nearly all day there. Audio guide is super detailed.

    Well worth a visit and definitely doable on your own! We ended up going with a guide, but as the early entrance to the Sistine Chapel and the passageway between the museums and St. Peter's Basilica is closed, it wasn't worth it to pay extra for a tour. We got there right when it opened and the line wasn't that long. They checked our Covid cards and we were able to check in and get audio guides. Be aware that there is no AC/heat once you get into the actual museums. We went at the beginning of March and it was little cold, but much better than being super hot in the summers.

    The museum has amazing collections. They all were unique and interesting. I would recommend getting skip the line to enter easily, but be aware that the museums may still be very crowded (as you can see from my pictures). If you do go to see the sculptures in the collection, you will notice that many of them have had a leaf placed on them for “decency”. The place is huge so I would recommend going with a tour or getting an audio guide so that you can make the most of your trip.

    We’ve booked the tour and it was really nice. She explained lots of art works and led us through almost whole museum. However, the exit is quite far, need to walk for roughly 15 minutes to leave the museum. The museum is full of visitors without any crowd control, really uncomfortable to explore the museum. Still, recommend to join the tour for more info about the art works!

    This is a must see experience for individuals and families. The only challenge will be strollers for those with small children. Most of the main attractions do not bode well for strollers so you will have to lift at least 10 times and hundreds of stairs. Bring a book or get an audio guide and spend a day here. Lots of history for religious or non.

    Wonderful experience, you can spend 2 hrs maximum, the best part is toilets are all over, pls carry water bottle and it's allowed. Book tickets in advance so that you don't need to wait in the queue. They will start to allow from 30 minutes before the time slot. Don't buy the audio guide electronic device for 8€, it's useless. Instead you can get guides at the entrance. Restaurants are available, foods are above nominal price but still good.

    If you come to the Vatican without visiting the museum ... You are missing out. Strongly recommend buying tickets ahead of time, and have a knowledgeable tour guide to walk you through the museum. Especially if you have limited time, limited art background/ knowledge, and still desire in depth explanations and engaging visits. It was the best museum visit experience !! ☺️

    I mean it is one of the most tourism attractions in the world so of course it's amazing, so I'm going to share some technical stuff, The place is large it's about an 8 km walk if you want to see all of it, the place is very crowded and I went in January, so it's most likely more crowded the rest of the year, you need to wear respectful clothes so you can enter, so no shorts, skirts etc, I highly recommend that you goin a group guide because the facts they have to share are fascinating and you'll probably get lost, Finally and bad news, you can't take photos in the chapel where there is the creation of Adam panting. Overall a breathtaking experience.

    Buy your tickets online and come at least 45 min before your schedule to catch a place in front of the queue. Recommend to bring a hat if its summer because you will stay sometime waiting. My only regret is that not having reservation in the morning (all of them were taken that day) to fully experience the museum and we entered at 15:45 and the museum closes at 18:30 so you need a lot of time to explore it because it is absolutely huge and we were ruhed in the end

    Our visit to the Vatican Museums was truly enhanced by the bus tour, which offered a unique and relaxing way to explore Vatican City. The tour, which includes entrance to the museums and the Sistine Chapel, began with a scenic drive through the Vatican Gardens. The open bus, with a closed roof and open windows, provided a refreshing breeze—perfect for a warm day in Rome. The audio guide was available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and German, and it offered fascinating insights into the various plants and trees that have been gifted to the popes over the years by heads of state and dignitaries from around the world. This added a rich layer of history to the tour, making it not only visually beautiful but also intellectually engaging. One of the best aspects of this tour was the convenience it offered. By purchasing our tickets in advance, we were able to skip the long lines and enjoy a quick entrance into the museums. The process was seamless—there is a dedicated walkway for ticket holders, and upon reaching the front entrance, we simply showed our reservation to a staff member. From there, we were directed upstairs to the left, where we exchanged our reservation for tickets to both the bus tour and the Vatican Museums. After the bus tour, which was a delightful way to see the Vatican Gardens, we were dropped off at a private entrance, allowing us to explore the museums and the Sistine Chapel at our own pace. The entire experience was smooth, well-organized, and offered great value for money. If you’re planning a visit to the Vatican Museums, I highly recommend the bus tour, which can be booked directly on the museums' official website. It not only provides a relaxing introduction to the Vatican City but also saves time with a fast-track entrance to the museums. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

    Stiamo parlando dei musei vaticani..... dovrei scrivere un libro per descrivere tutto ciò che vi ho visto di stupefacente. Meraviglie storiche e non provenienti da quasi ogni parte del mondo. Ma a parte questo, che è già tantissimo, ci sono tutti gli affreschi all'interno della struttura stessa, ad esempio la cappella sistina, i vari appartamenti papali. Poi che dire dei vari musei: etruschi, egizi... eccetera. Comprendo perfettamente perché i musei vaticani vengono visitati da milioni di turisti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Oltre al consiglio di visitarli, consiglio anche di prendere i biglietti on line. Da tenere presente che la visita ai musei dura non meno di 3 ore.

    Ίσως το κορυφαίο αξιοθέατο της Ρώμης, μαζί με το Κολοσσαίο. Φροντίστε να έχετε προμηθευτεί εισιτήρια. Ίσως να έχετε ξεναγό. Με κάποιο τρόπο να αποφύγετε την ουρά και την αναμονή. Χρειάζεται σίγουρα 3-4 ώρες για τα βασικά. Του κόβω ένα αστέρι, γιατί πάντα έχει πάρα μα πάρα πολύ κόσμο και αρκετοί δεν αντέχουν τόση ορθοστασία και στρίμωγμα.

    Se da fuori possono sembrare , uffici o strutture dello Stato Pontificio , in realtà' gli edifici sul lato destro di piazza San Pietro , ospitano i Musei Vaticani . Immensi e ricchi di innumerevoli reperti, statue , busti , vasellame , quadri ,arazzi , ma anche carrozze o semplici oggetti appartenuti ai papi...il tutto culmina con la visita alla Cappella Sistina dove si concentra l' arte prodotta dai maestri Michelangelo e Raffaello...anche troppo e troppo bello , per chi come me nella vita fa altro...

    Alapítva: 1506. Megnyitása: 1771 A múzeumi gyűjteményben kb. 70.000 művészeti alkotás található, melyből csupán 20.000 van kiállítva. A Vatikáni Múzeumban található a pápai művészeti gyűjtemény Vatikán állam területén. A gyűjtemény az egyik legfontosabb és legnagyobb a világon és az ókori közel-keleti, illetve görög-római, valamint etruszk-italikus művészet remekeitől kezdve a kora keresztény, középkori műalkotásokon és a reneszánsz művészetén át egészen a 19. századig mutat be műremekeket.

    Sempre splendido il museo ma le misure per il Covid sono solo apparenti. Il controllo c'è stato all'ingresso ma, nelle sale, man mano che camminavamo, la gente si accalcava senza che le guardie, stravaccate sulle sedie a giocare con il cellulare, dicessero nulla. Quindi ci siamo ritrovati ammassati e con molte persone, anche molti stranieri, con mascherina abbassata per il caldo allucinante. Visto che ho pagato la prenotazione e la guida mi sarei aspettata le entrate scaglionate e inferiori dei turisti. Nessuno controlla l'abbigliamento indecente con cui i turisti entrano mentre noi ci siamo presentati in lungo, come da regolamento. Nella cappella Sistina confusione, risate, guide che parlano a voce alta. Insomma il caos!!!

    Almeno una volta nella vita i Musei Vaticani devono essere visitati. I Musei Vaticani sono il centro della Città del Vaticano. Fondati da Papa Giulio II nel XVI secolo e aperti al pubblico nel XVIII secolo, nel corso degli anni i Musei Vaticani sono arrivati a essere il secondo museo più visitato in Europa dopo il Louvre. Ad oggi i musei papali in Vaticano sono una delle raccolte d'arte più grandi del mondo, dal momento che all'interno è ospitata un'immensa vastità di opere e tesori d'arte. Per i visitatori si prospetta quindi un viaggio nella storia dell'arte tra antichità e contemporaneità. Infatti, all'interno dei palazzi papali, è possibile percorrere ben oltre 8 km di gallerie! Una vastissima esposizione di tesori che i pontefici hanno collezionato nei secoli di immensa bellezza e valore.

    (Translated by Google) Worth every penny. Especially if you like Greek, Roman, Egyptian and more. Their collection really and surprisingly, floors several floors corridors several corridors. I recommend buying tickets for the morning hours, as it is a visit that takes between 1:30 and 2 hours. Sublime. There are several museums to visit. For the sake of economy, we took the opportunity to visit them all, but there are many, many works to enjoy. It was a "passing" visit, both for the high number of visitors inside and for the thousands of works on display. The cultural center of the Holy See, which houses extensive and valuable collections of art and antiques collected over the centuries by the various Roman popes. In addition to these relatively independent institutions, some of which also have more or less autonomous subdivisions, the Vatican Museums oversee a number of other rooms within the palaces of the Vatican City, such as galleries and chapels, which they themselves guard high architectural, historical and artistic interest. Most of the collections are located in the palaces of the Vatican Museums and the Pinacoteca Vaticana. (Original) Verdt hver krone. Spesielt hvis du liker gresk, romersk, egyptisk og mer. Samlingen deres virkelig og overraskende, gulv flere etasjer korridorer flere korridorer. Jeg anbefaler å kjøpe billetter til morgentimene, da det er et besøk som tar mellom 1:30 og 2 timer. Sublim. Det er flere museer å besøke. Av hensyn til økonomien benyttet vi anledningen til å besøke dem alle, men det er mange, mange verk å glede seg over. Det var et "passant" besøk, både for det høye antallet besøkende inne og for de tusenvis av verkene som ble utstilt. Hellige stolens kulturelle steder, som huser omfattende og verdifulle samlinger av kunst og antikviteter samlet gjennom århundrene av de forskjellige romerske påfene. I tillegg til disse relativt uavhengige institusjonene, hvor noen også har mer eller mindre autonome underavsnitt, fører Vatikanmuseene tilsyn med en rekke andre rom innenfor palassene i Vatikanstaten, som gallerier og kapeller, som de selv vokter høy arkitektonisk, historisk og kunstnerisk interesse. De fleste av samlingene ligger i palasset til Vatikanmuseene og Pinacoteca Vaticana.

    This was my best place to visit in Rome. We had a family trip and the Vatican was my best. If you're planning to go to the Vatican with a toddler just know that their is lots of stairs and no lifts , or provision for stroller. It was such a hectic time having to carry the stroller and the baby separate. The place is quite packed so if you're having kids carry a bottle because theiz plenty of free cold water . It was an amazing trip. Magnificent views .

    Everything is very beautiful but make sure you wear the right shoes. It takes awhile to talk through even if you don't stop to look at everything along the path. We went on a day that wasn't very crowded which made the experience so much better. I have 3 kids ages between 6-12 and while they were a little bored there was enough to look at to keep them somewhat entertained. Bring water and good walking shoes and you'll be fine.

    Everyone told us you MUST book a guided tour of the Vatican when you visit Rome and they weren't wrong - every room is breathtaking. There's so much to take in and can feel a bit overwhelming but our guide helped us find the important things to look at and her enthusiasm for the art was infectious. There was no guided access to The Basilica due to CoVid so we'll try and visit there another day on our own.

From Raphael's rooms to contemporary art (Matisse, Chagall, De Chirico, etc.) to the extraordinary emotion that a visit to the Sistine Chapel provokes.

Similar to the Japanese show, the challenge of living a month of life with 10,000 yuan. Yesterday, I finally settled the travel expenses. I should overspend by 12,000, which is a pity. But I am not reconciled! I eat frugally every day, and even break my work. I'm so angry. I decided to sleep in the hotel from the next day, otherwise I would steal the bike to save money. As for the ticket price... Go to the roadside to pick up the ticket. eat? I began to stipulate that Shuzhen and Aunt Yang take turns to entertain guests, and carefully calculated my wishful thinking. Because I really couldn't afford to lose, Aunt Yang achieved the goal, and Shuzhen and Ah Fu were a little too close. We don’t go in and out at the same time every day, eat and stay at the same time. Shuzhen laughed and said, "Afu brings 70,000, so we can change the target to 70,000." thick! It's not fun, not serious at all. 2012•10•09 time 2347 freedom traveller Yesterday I went to the Vatican City. I was so lost in the museum. I accidentally "out of the country" accidentally. I was so nervous that I ran two laps. The entire Vatican City ran for two laps, but I couldn’t go back. I had to be outside. Wait for them. When we finally met, we rushed to the city of Sant'Angelo. We were looking for a way. Aunt Yang looked up and saw the blue sky, white sun and red flag flying on the streets of Rome. It was so beautiful. When I came closer, I realized that it was the "Embassy in Jiaoyan". Shuzhen and Yang recorded the counterpoint of "I love China." Yesterday was October 9th, and the next day was the birthday of the Republic of China. Amorous. The whole mood was great, and she kept smiling. Suddenly a pair of mainlanders stopped and smiled to see what we were up to. They could understand. This time I came to Yi, I met many righteous people who discriminated against Asians, but most of us when we declared that we were Taiwanese, we got beautiful smiling faces and were happy to take photos of our national flags. Taiwan's reputation is not bad, they all know it, and they are friendly. I have also encountered many mainland students who expressed their "love Taiwan." I am very vain. But seeing the national flag flying around the world moved me even more. Come on, Taiwan! Happy birthday to the Republic of China.

The place was so clean and full of people.

    Without a doubt one of my favourite places. The highlight of course was the Sistine chapel. I would definitely recommend going with an early bird tour. We went in a group of 20 people before the museum opened to the general public, and had about an hour with our small group to take in every corner of the Sistine chapel.

Following along, I will go to Dhamma and roaming in the Vatican city state. It can be classified as the smallest independent country or independent state in the world. With an area of ​​approximately 250 rai in this city, the plan includes the Vatican Palace, the Palace of Castel Gandolfo. (castelgendolfo) the imprint On the patio of Rome to the south, Gregorian University and 13 churches in Rome. Only the Vatican Palace has an area of ​​150 acres, which includes St. Peter's Cathedral. Vatican Museums Vatican Library And the residence of the Pope as well, within the area there is a beautiful Vatican Park. There are radio stations of the Vatican. There is a Vatican post office. Vatican Railway Station Vatican Bank And duty-free shops of all kinds have their own prisons, such as newspapers with names. Los Servatore Romano The Pope is therefore regarded as a person of great magnificence. In which the acquisition of that power This was due to the fervent faith of the Europeans in their religious heads that the pope was able to occupy central Italy. All of them are called papastates and there is a central administrative center in the Vatican in the middle of Rome. The early Pope He has worldly powers surpassing the heavens. And get involved in politics too Many European powers began to play a game against him to deprive him of power. Until making an administrative area like Papastate disappeared, and in 1860 it remained just around Rome. Later, when King Victor Emanuel II ruled Italy. There was a referendum vote that It was expedient for Rome to be part of Italy. Or is it the Vatican's papacy anyway? The results turned out that People pour scores for Rome as part of Italy. Causing Pope Pius IV, who was the head of the religion at that time, was very displeased Therefore announced the cut off with the outside world Stay in the Vatican city state alone Successive pope Therefore adhering to a custom and refusing to interfere with the outside world And the Italian government Until 1929 the Lateran Treaty was made in the Mussolini period. The sovereignty guarantee of the Vatican city state. Along with many other conveniences to enable the city to survive as an independent state. Appropriate for the pope to act. As the head of the Catholics all over the world. The reason for calling the Treaty of La Teran Because they were signed at the La Teran Palace After that, in the year 1506 of Pope Julius II, he decided to tear down the old and build the Cathedral of St. Peter. Which is completed, it took 150 years to build with the aim of Is the sanctuary of saint peter And show the greatness of the church As well as being the greatest religious center in the world, the construction of St. Peter's Cathedral was under the administration of 20 popes.

    Vatican is for sure a life investment that you have to make when you visit Rome. It's a classic museum complex of 10 different museums. Be prepared to have a really nice and enlightening experience. Book your tickets in advance, plan your rout through this journey, because otherwise it's really overwhelming. Have fun in the Vatican museums with exposes from all over the world!

  • 5/5 Matheus 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing beautiful collection that can't be described just by simple words, I recommend the visit, sparing at least 3 hours to it. The only cons is that audioguide is not describing pieces of art, just rooms, a person guide is better.

  • 5/5 André B. 3 years ago on Google
    The Vatican Museums are very beautiful and amazing. The museum is so large, and if you wish to see every art piece, you can spend many hours in here. I would strongly suggest getting a guide, as it can be diffucilt for ”normal people” to find out what is important and what can be skipped. The Sistine Chapel is so unique and you can spend so much time in there. The fresco "School of Athens" by Michelangelo was also a highlight for us. (video)

    The most profound thing I can say is WOW!! We did a 10 person tour and loved the small group experience; was able to learn a ton that way. The history contained on the grounds is amazing. Breathtaking is an understatement. Unfortunately, the Pope was not available to swing over and say hi to us. Maybe we will get a personal invite the next time we are in the neighborhood. Haha. One could only hope to have that luck. If in Rome, make this a must see stop.

    The museum was nice, we made our reservation online and were able to exchange our tickets with physical tickets. There are some impressive paintings and murals in the museum but it can get quite overwhelming. Some historical things had no English description. It should take 3-4 hours to see the whole museum so make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes. There is a garden space in a small outdoor space where you can rest. The Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam is located inside the ceiling of the Sistine chapel but pictures are not allowed there.

    We went yesterday and I really recommend doing the morning your with breakfast included! It was absolutely beautiful and amazing! all in all of say for about two of us it was a little over 100 euros but worth it if you want to do it right and feel less crowded. Yes it is a lot of money but this was an absolute must on our list. We had to be there by 7:15am and meet our guide at 7:30. She knew so much about everything and would stop and ask if anybody has questions. She gave wonderful recommendations about other places nearby! The big plus was that although we are in a group tour, it is before they allow general admission in and it is way way way less crowded. No pictures are allowed in the Sistine chapel (btw) after the tour they gave us the breakfast which was delicious in their courtyard. after that you are free to wander back into the museum to any parts you want or feel you didn't have enough time to explore. We went back into the Sistine chapel for another look but this time was full of the general admission so it made us appreciate our morning tour.

    Important tip: Try to book your entrance to the museum well in advance of your trip, as the tickets often run out quickly! Inside you can see well known masterpieces of Michelangelo, Rafael and even Salvador Dali. It's a great experience to see them live. Museum is too vast to visit it properly within a few hours, so you have to prioritize. I wished the museum had also a section telling to historical narrative of Vatican and Rome. Rome lacks a good historical museum.

    A truly remarkable collection of artifacts, absolutely worth visiting. Booking in advance is highly recommended in order to avoid long waiting queues. Tip: in case you do not find "normal" tickets for the day you are looking for, you can consider booking with a group. It is a good compromise, especially if it includes the visit to San Pietro.

    Visited the museum almost three years back and I was awestruck after visiting and seeing the marvels created by the people back then. The main attractions were the Sistine chapel and it's painting but the other things too were magnificent to see and explore. The drawings on the roof and walls, depiction of the bygone era simply astonishing. The sculptures, the things carved out of stones and library were also fascinating. The guide who was with us helped us to know the history as well significance of each things. Must visit place and remember u can not cover everything in a single visit.

    Mesmerizing beauty. Each hall and corridor has so many beautiful paintings and sculptures - the private guide was excellent at explaining details, and was very funny too.

    We spent at least 3 hours here with my girlfriend, and I really loved every minute of it. There were a lot of things to see, from mummies and ancient pottery, to paintings and giant sculptures. The two parks were lovely even with quite a lot of people around. I recommend buying your ticket beforehand, as it makes the entry that much faster. The Sistine Chapel was breathtaking. Standing under Michelangelo's masterpiece filled me up with indescribable feelings. It really deserves to be seen at least once in one's lifetime.

  • 4/5 Bryce T. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a good museum. We did not have the time to explore as much as we wanted too but it had a lot of amazing sculptures and artwork!

I bought a combined tickets and I did not wait for a long queue. As I said that very great place and touristic, But I think there is a lack of explanations in English and don't forget to collect a map from the entrance. Otherwise you may feel a bit lost

  • 5/5 Jim C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is definitely one of the top experiences in Rome. We highly recommend that you get tickets ahead of time or pay for a tour. A guided tour did help us to understand things a lot better. Especially when they explained the Sistine Chapel ahead of time, since you have to whisper in there. This is probably one place where spending the money for a guided tour is worth it.

  • 4/5 MM 1 year ago on Google
    Although there are time slots for visitors entrance, the place is packed. Paths are kind of marked but easily you can get lost. A lot of exhibitions, they are divided as they were created at different ages. There is a cafeteria to chill but accept cash only, at least the one nearest to the garden. It is advised to buy tickets in advance as the waiting line without reservation is enormous.

    This is a beautiful place. It will take you half day to go around the city. Book tickets in advance but it’s best to do a self guided tour as the English tour guides don’t have a clear English accent and the tours are difficult to follow. Better to book in advance if deciding to go.

    It was always my dream to visit the Vatican and I wasn't disappointed:) There are a lot of tourists there so I would recommend buying tickets in advance (probably with the "Skip the Line" option).

Most of the time we were being pushed through very quickly by a sea of people. We went in the cooler off-season, so at least it wasn't too hot.

    This is where you get tickets for the Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica. Take the audio tour so you can move at your own pace... The only benefit to the guided tour is the back entrance out of Sistine Chapel through the Swiss guards corridor into St Peters Basilica. The museum itself is an experience. I absolutely loved it 👍🏼❤️

    Easy to reccommend for spending at least 4 hours inside checking out all the art pieces. There is so much to do inside so I should come in early morning to even spend the whole day. In my opinion even on normal days during the high season (I was in Nov) one should buy individual tickets inside or be careful with no overpaying online bc the line is going quickly. Booking the tour can make a huge difference but on your own you can experience something great as well! 🇮🇹❤️

    You can either buy on line or when u get there. Beware. Buying when u get there u will queue. The Chapel is probably the last attraction around the whole museum. What a museum. From sculptures to reliefs to paintings by various famous artists throughout history. Depending on your take of history and walking speed. Looking at a good 2 hours. They do have a bistro and toilets. Lots of stairs.

    Beautiful museum, Sistine chapel was the highlight! I got an audio guide instead of a tour guide and it let me go at my own pace and see what I wanted to see - would recommend. The museum can get very crowded towards the Sistine chapel part, and around 1-3pm, however it wasn’t a problem. The cafe in the courtyard was lovely and quite cheap.

    Such a magical place to be in, but their route map was poorly made. We went there during a heat wave, but they only had a few fans and most rooms were boiling. I was not only concerned about people’s health and safety, but also the paintings. Also I missed some famous sculptures lol…The museum’s massive. One day visit is not enough.

    Już dwa tygodnie wcześniej nie było biletów do kupienia na stronie oficjalnej. Polecam kupić je z dużo większym wyprzedzeniem. Koszt z natychmiastowym wejściem to 22€, a tak musieliśmy kupić 3 x drożej z przewodnikiem, bo wszystkie bilety wykupują inni sprzedawcy biletów. Kolejka od rana gigantyczna. Mimo, że podobno byliśmy już po za sezonem to dziennie odwiedza to muzeum 30-40 tysięcy ludzi, w sezonie dwa razy więcej, a i tak było bardzo tłoczno. Nie można było na spokojnie podziwiać eksponatów i trzeba pilnować przewodnika. Pierwsza część muzeum nie była ciekawa, dopiero na koniec zrobiło się fenomenalnie, aż brak tchu. Są wymagania co do ubioru, które są przestrzegane tylko przy wejściu.

    Dużo wrażeń, piękne eksponaty trzeba to zobaczyć i przeżywać osobiście.

    Çok sayıda eserin ve bölümün olduğu çok kapsamlı bir alan. Açık ara gezdiğim en güzel müze.

    Vale la pena coger entrada con antelación con guía y conoces la historia y sus grandes artistas, curiosidades, anécdotas.... Es impresionante de principio a fin! He ido en agosto con mi hija de 14 años. Volvería a ir
