We will be in Rome on a Wednesday. We are not going to Papal audience but want to visit the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. What is the best time to do this? I understand that St Peter's is closed until Papal audience is over. Is the Sistine Chapel open during Papal audience? Would it be best to visit Vatican Museum and Sistine during Papal audience and then rush to St. Peter's when Papal audience is over (not sure what time?) Or would it be best to visit all 3 later in the day?

Beautiful to see

Architecture is simply stunning. Not very much time to look around & certainly no time to go inside. Lines were 2 1/2 hours long, however still stunning to see.

A masterpiece of art and architecture!

Aside from being the seat of Catholicism, this basilica is a masterpiece of art and architecture. Inside you'll find works of masters like Michelangelo, Bernini, et al. Don't forget the famous Pieta' of Michelangelo and the dome designed by the same artist, as well as...More

A church ⛪ you have to see!!!!

It holds the popes chair which is absolutely beautiful and breath taking. It’s one of the biggest churches in the world and the most remarkable church we’ve seen while in Italy 🇮🇹.

Impressive, relatively but not totally crowded

A classic. Good sized crowds but mostly not bad in April. Wanted to go down to the tombs, but ran out of time and very crowded. The tombs did not allow photos, but not a surprise. Very ornate.
