We had booked a tour to visit the Vatican and we were grateful we had. Queues of people trying to get in and we entered without fuss with our guide. It was an amazing complex filled with priceless artwork and hundreds of tourists.
I was surprised by the beautiful gardens and the number of museums – we were just scratching the surface with our 3 hour tour.
The Sistine Chapel was beautiful – no photos and no talking which people seemed to respect. The tour finished at Saint Peter’s Square – familiar from so many movies and watching the black and white smoke during the election of a new pope.
