The Vatican is a wonderful place to visit. It has many different artifacts from all over the world and all cultures and eras. Set aside at least 4-5 hours to explore it because the gardens outside are also magnificent. The area with the "pine cone" (pituitary gland) is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy yourself. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance to skip the long lines. We were satisfied and recommend it :-)

The skip-the-line ticket was perfect. A charming young woman led us to the entrance, gave us advice, and answered our questions, in French no less.

One problem is that you never know exactly which train you will catch, and if you choose one earlier than the time you booked, you have to pay an extra five euros. That's not customer-friendly, as I actually thought there would be some leeway. Otherwise, everything works great.
