Go at your own pace.
Vatican City is small and busy. Choose one artwork, square or section of a museum and take your time with it instead of seeing everything in one day.
Here's how to do it.
- Choose one collection or room in the Vatican Museums beforehand, then tell each other after your visit which detail stays with you the longest.
- Book through official channels and check opening hours.
- Respect photography rules and dress codes.
