Vatican Tour Before a New Pope | Inside the Museums & Sistine Chapel - Vatican City Part 2

Creator's Key Takeaways
We chose to do this guided tour with an official Vatican tour guide and we were so glad that we did.
The museums were very crowded with people and trying to find our way through the museums on our own would have been frustrating.
In general, our visit to the Vatican was a very special and something we are so blessed to have been able to do.
The large crowds are definitely something to be aware of and therefore our recommendation would be to plan ahead, purchase a guided tour and give yourself plenty of time to enjoy and take in all the magnificent sites.

With the conclave currently taking place inside the Sistine Chapel, we’re looking back at our visit with new eyes. ✨ While we didn’t witness the event firsthand, we did walk through the very room where a new Pope may soon be chosen. Just imagine… those majestic frescoes, now hidden behind closed doors, holding centuries of tradition. Our tour of Vatican City was unforgettable. From St. Peter’s Basilica to the Vatican Museums, this was truly a journey through faith, art, and time.
