    Things to Do in Vatican City

    Vatican City — Thing to Do on ViaTravelers

    • Sistine Chapel

      Sistine Chapel

      The no-photography rule at the Sistine Chapel is the best thing about it — silence forces you to actually look.

    • Vatican Museums

      Vatican Museums

      Skip the audio guide and find the Gallery of Maps first — most crowds blow past it chasing the Sistine Chapel and miss 40 frescoed maps of Renaissance Italy.

    • St. Peter’s Basilica

      St. Peter’s Basilica

      Skip the guided tour. The dome climb at St. Peter’s is 551 steps and worth every one — the views over Vatican City hit differently than any postcard.
