El museo del Vaticano sin dudar es un lugar que hay que visitar, obras de belleza indiscutible, pero lamentablemente es una pesadilla de nunca acabar son 3 hrs de un recorrido unidireccional donde te obligan a recorrer todo para llegar al último a la capilla sixtina, vale la pena, pero sin duda agradeceríamos que el recorrido fuera mas corto ,con salas opcionales con obras de arte de menos importancia, también que estuviera mejor señalizado y que existieran mapas para orientarse y sin duda mas asientos. Igualmente un lugar que uno no puede morirse sin conocer es excepcional.

Increíble... Si deseas visitarla puedes obtener una entrada por alrededor de 20 Euros que incluye tambien la visita a Museo del Vaticano. No es necesario que la compres en línea o a través de terceros ya que tu mismo puedes hacer fila y adquirirla. Si deseas adquirirla en línea, asegúrate de hacerlo directamente en la página oficial para que no pagues de más. Esto te dará la posibilidad de hacer entrada prioritaria si lo deseas. Sí vale la pena para quienes disfrutan del arte.

Después de caminar por MUCHOS museos que posee el Vaticano, y que son asombrosos, finalmente llegas a la Capilla Sixtina. Una belleza. Aunque, es preciso destacar que cuando salís de ahí, en camino a la salida que te lleva a la calle, pasas por otros dos museos (que muestran objetos de las diferentes culturas de Asia y Oceanía) y que les puedo asegurar que vale la pena quedarse un rato mirando con detalle. Son muy lindos y asombrosos.
