Not being an art devotee, I agreed to visit the vatican museum as my wife was extremely keen. Having checked the opening times (very important to do this, as they do vary) we followed the throng from the Metro station. The queue was several hundred metres long, this being a Saturday morning, but was moving fairly quickly. The atmosphere was pleasant with many conversations taking place between "fellow queuers". After just less than an hour we were in, cost 12 euros each which considering the amount of time we spent in there was extremely good value for money. It is impossible to describe in words the sights that greeted you inside. If you wanted it could take you several hours to work your way through. Although the Sistine chapel is the main room that most go to see, our favourite was the long gallery which we felt eclipsed the Sistine. There are many narrow staircases and wheel chair access would be almost impossible.
