Worked fine with tickets on smartphone, and no queue at the entrance. A little crowded at security, but otherwise ok. In the museum there was fine space but in the Sistine Chapel there were really many people. Glad we were not here in high season.

We spent over four hours in the museums, exploring everything from the Pinacoteca to the Sistine Chapel. However, we were most impressed by Raphael's School of Athens. We appreciated the smaller number of visitors.

It has magnificent works of art. Buying tickets online is very convenient because it saved a lot of time to not have wait in line to enter the museum

The place is impressive, but a bit smaller than I imagine. There was not too much crowd. The skip ticket was unnecessary in my eyes. Some of the places without light is making hard to read the information but overall experience is really impressive and important to do once you come to Rome.

Your Experience

Access 2 of Rome's treasures: the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel and the Colosseum, with a single ticket!

Vatican Museums

At the Vatican Museums, and explore a whole world of art for as long as you like. Admire classical sculptures, tapestries, and paintings by Renaissance greats like Raphael, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Leonardo da Vinci. There's an entire section devoted to Modern Religious Art, where you'll find pieces by van Gogh, Dalí, and Picasso. Must-visit sections of the Vatican Museums include the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, the Sala Rotunda and the Gallery of Statues, and the Hall of Busts.

Of course, one cannot visit the Vatican Museums without seeing the iconic Sistine Chapel. Located at the end of the Vatican Museums and neighboring St. Peter's Basilica, this 15th-century chapel's walls and ceilings are covered by some of the most astounding frescoes ever produced. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo in a span of 4 years, is considered to be a cornerstone of western art. The Last Judgement covers the wall behind the altar and is probably the most famous single work of art in the Sistine Chapel. Please note: Entry to the museums is by obligatory online booking.

Colosseum

The Colosseum is believed to have been built as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people. This majestic outdoor amphitheater was once the epicenter for entertainment, hosting public spectacles and games. Quite a bloody past. It was, after all, a stage for gladiator fights, often including animals. This is your chance to step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

You also get entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. See popular sites such as the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more. Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, it is now an extensive archaeological site.

The audio guide, narrated by local experts, offers an interactive map of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. As you walk around, tap the area you are exploring and listen to brief commentary dedicated to that spot. Tip: Bring along your earphones for the best audio experience.
