The weekend started with a visit to the Vatican Museums, wandering through more than a thousand rooms before reaching the Sistine Chapel. If you’ve booked tickets in advance, make sure to use the fast‑track entrance so you don’t get stuck in the queue. After a quick lunch, we headed to St. Peter’s Basilica, the most important church in the Vatican. The cupola and Michelangelo’s Pietà are among its unforgettable highlights. Although the basilica is free to enter, I’d still recommend buying the €7 skip‑the‑line ticket online to avoid queuing for hours.
