How to play in the Vatican? Are there any strategies you can recommend?

When traveling to Rome, we must not miss the Vatican, the smallest and least populous country in the world. Although the Vatican is very small, it has rich culture. Due to cultural reasons, many people come here to worship.

Because the Vatican is not very large, and there are only a few famous attractions, let’s first focus on the Vatican Museum. The interior of the Vatican Museum is astounding. Since the beginning of Roman Catholicism a long time ago, many collections have been collected, and it has also provided many artistic references for people today.

It is strongly recommended to do some homework before going. It would be a pity if you just go and check in. Such a temple that collects the world's treasures is worth spending a day or two to look at it. This is not the longest one. If you really want to look at it seriously, it will take at least several days.

Since there are so many people queuing up to buy tickets on site, it is best to book in advance. Regular tickets are 17 euros + 4 euros booking fee. I sincerely tell you that if you don’t book tickets one or two months in advance, there will be no tickets, or the general tickets will be sold out. At that time, you can only book tickets with breakfast or lunch, and the price will be ten dollars more. A few euros.

There are so many tourists visiting the Vatican Museums every time. There are already queues there early in the morning, and most of them are tour groups. If you can, try to avoid the peak season.

It is best for independent tourists to rent a guide here, which costs 8 euros each. If you bring your own headphones (the kind with a round head), you don’t have to spend 1.5 euros to buy headphones. Although there are many apps with explanations now, the Vatican Museum is so big that you basically have to rent it in the end.

After seeing the Vatican Museums, you can go to the nearby St. Peter’s Square. If you have just visited the Vatican Museum and want to go to St. Peter's Square, you can walk directly through the passage (I wouldn't say this to ordinary people). If you don't know, you can ask the administrator.

If you are going to St. Peter's Square from the hotel, you can take Metro Line A and get off at Ottaviano Station, then follow the navigation (in fact, I think you can also follow the flow of people) and walk for about six or seven minutes.

St. Peter’s Square is a particularly important place for the Catholic Church. Grand activities are held here every week. If the church prays on Christmas and New Year’s Eve, come here at that time. There will be more believers.

Finally, the Vatican also has St. Peter’s Basilica, which is the best in the world. The paintings and sculptures inside are very exquisite and were made by masters. The interior of the church is extremely luxurious, so gorgeous that it makes you feel a little uneasy. This place is actually so majestic that you can’t even take a photo, so you have to go and experience it for yourself.
