6,7kmThe Vatican Museums are considered among the most important in the world and their visit represents an essential and indispensable moment for anyone coming to Rome. Here the Popes have, over time, collected and preserved among the highest masterpieces of the art of all times and the most precious testimonies of the past. The Museums also include outstanding artistic monuments, such as the Chapel of Beato Angelico, the Rooms and the Loggia of Raphael, the Borgia Apartment and above all the Sistine Chapel which, besides containing priceless works, is the official seat of the Conclave, that is the room where the cardinals meet to elect the new Pope. Because of their inestimable value, the queues at the entrance are really long, especially during the high season such as Christmas, Easter and during the spring.
