The Vatican’s divine frescos and sculptures, from Michelangelo to Raphael and Bernini, draw visitors from around the globe. There’s so much to see while visiting the Vatican that it can be a little overwhelming, and you don’t want to go all that way only to miss its best treasures.

This guide will allow you to explore in a more efficient way than the other 25,000 tourists visiting the holy enclave every day.

Avoid the worst of the crowds with an early-access ticket, and see Vatican Museum highlights that others miss in their scramble to crane their necks at the Sistine Chapel\u2019s ceiling (make sure you do that too!). Wander the Vatican Gardens, and relax at the Pope’s summer palace in the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of options, so here’s everything you need to know before visiting the Vatican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
