An overwhelming 7-kilometer procession through papal collections culminating in the Sistine Chapel — Michelangelo's ceiling remains one of the most astonishing things a human being has ever made. The Gallery of Maps, Raphael Rooms, and Pinecone Courtyard are all genuinely worth your attention along the way. Book the earliest possible entry slot and move quickly through the early galleries to beat the tour groups to the Sistine Chapel.
