Musei Vaticani

Even if you’re not an art lover, the Vatican Museums are a must. We spent hours walking through endless corridors packed with masterpieces from Raphael, Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, and more. The Sistine Chapel was definitely the highlight—standing under Michelangelo’s frescoes was something we’ll never forget. The level of detail was just incredible. We also really enjoyed the Gallery of Maps and the Raphael Rooms, which were just as impressive. It’s a huge museum, so definitely plan to spend the whole day there. A guided tour is a good idea if you want to get the full story behind the artworks.
