Ok, so the queues and the crowds are terrible, but this was singlehandedly the most amazing museum i've ever been to. The map rooms and of course the Sistine Chapel were the best bits for me.

It is the famous Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, known for its amazing paintings on the walls and ceilings. Even if you do not believe in what the Catholic Church teaches, you can not deny the beauty of this art. The best way to see it is to get into the Vatican Museum as early as possible (tour guides get their own line, so think about if that is worth the cost to you) and once you are in, rush straight to the Sistine Chapel. You will be there with few other people, and get to enjoy it practically on your own, and then you can later go back and see the rest of the Vatican Museum.
