Happily, we ordered tickets to the Vatican museums online before leaving home. Even rushing and using the metro, we were late for our 8 AM date; fortunately, that didn't matter and we sailed in front of a long line. Armed with both our Blue Guide and audioguides, we enjoyed a long visit at these huge museums. A few of our favorite pieces of art were the Apollo in the Belvedere, Etruscan art such as a fine gold fibula, and the Raphael rooms including Aeneas saving Anchises. We agreed that the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is terrific -- the Last Judgment, not so much. Here are pics.
