@all.yours.ame: The Vatican: Where heaven leans closer to earth 🤍 Below are my best tips and recommendations! 1. St. Peter’s Basilica • Go early in the morning to avoid crowds. • Climb to the dome for breathtaking views of St. Peter’s Square and Rome. • Don’t miss Michelangelo’s Pietà. 2. Vatican Museums • Book tickets in advance (skip-the-line is worth it). • Prioritize the Raphael Rooms, Gallery of Maps, and Sistine Chapel. • Go in the late afternoon for a quieter experience. 3. Sistine Chapel • Absolutely no photos allowed. Take your time soaking in Michelangelo’s ceiling. • Notice The Last Judgment behind the altar. 4. St. Peter’s Square • Visit both day and night. The atmosphere changes completely. • Stand in the center and see Bernini’s colonnade “embrace” the crowd. 5. Vatican Gardens (optional but special) • Must be booked as a guided tour. • Peaceful escape from the main tourist routes. 6. Papal Audience (Wednesdays) • Free to attend, but tickets are required. • Arrive early for the best seating. 7. Apostolic Palace / Scavi Tour • The Scavi Tour takes you beneath St. Peter’s to the necropolis and (traditionally believed) tomb of St. Peter. • Limited availability. Book months ahead. 8. Eat nearby • Ristorante Arlù (classic Italian near the Vatican walls). • Pastasciutta (quick, homemade pasta). 9. Dress code reminder • Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter basilica or museums. Save for your next visit to the Eternal City! #creatorsearchinsights #travel #vatican #europe #traveltiktok
