It was easy to get in - however, might not have needed a skip the line ticket when we were there over New Years - much of the year it might be crowded, but check - might just need a regular ticket. However, this made it easy and a guaranteed enjoyable experience.

The Medici princes chapel and the Michelangelo chapels were just awe inspiring! And it was just lovely to be greeted by the staff who were still friendly and nice after what must have been such a super busy tourist season. This is why we love Italy and keep coming back!

A unique experience to see two Medici tombstones in the New Sacristy. The masterpiece of the most famous sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti.

It was so easy we were lucky there was no queues at all so we didn't need skip the queue in the end but was very straightforward and easy to get tickets we didn't have to redeem them just show at entrance which was perfect as it saved lots of time.

In truth there was no need for skip the line. I think that the Medici chapel is not on the agenda of many tourists. Which is shame because it's breathtaking. Not at all spectacular on the outside but incredible on the inside, with its all marble walls.

The Crypt: Secrets beneath the chapel

Your tour begins at the Medici Crypt where you get to uncover fascinating stories about the Medici family's lives, illnesses, and deaths. This historic crypt serves as the final resting place for Medici family members, offering insights into their lifestyles and the mysteries surrounding their demise.

Michelangelo's New Sacristy

Designed by Michelangelo, the Sagrestia Nuova is a 16th-century addition to the Basilica, created to honor members of the Medici family. Along the way, you’ll see how Michelangelo brilliantly combined architecture and sculpture to reflect his take on human existence. Although Michelangelo left the chapel unfinished in 1534, the work that remains is a testament to his genius.

Chapel of the Princes: A grand mausoleum

End with a visit to the Chapel of the Princes, a magnificent octagonal mausoleum decorated with stunning gemstones and exquisite marbles. Featuring a large dome, the chapel stands as a testament to the Medici family's wealth and influence.
