We got to the Vatican museum quite early and did a tour. There is a lot to see and this is worth doing. From the Vatican museum, you have to pass through the Sistine Chapel to get into St Peter’s Basilica. There is a door at the other end of the chapel to the right, that is kept closed until after the popes audience. Then at about midday, this door is opened, and you can pass through which leads to St Peter’s Basilica.
Before you get to the Sistine Chapel, there is a cafe. Stay there, have a coffee until midday, then pass through the Sistine Chapel, enjoy, then go through to St Peter’s! It’s stunning!!
