Die Vatikanischen Museen ein High-Light bei meinem diesjährigem Italienurlaub. An der historischen Stätte des Vatikan, diese umfangreiche Sammlung zu erkunden ist sehr interessant, so zb. Originale von Van Gogh, Chagall, Gaugin, Picasso, oder dem großen Maler Raffael, die Fresken Michelangelos. Dies reiht sich alles in eine einzigartige Sammlung ein, die wunderbare Skulpturen der Antike zeigt. Ein Streifzug, durch die gesamte alte Welt mit wertvollen Ausstellungsstücken.. Da ist das original unterschriebene Trikot von Maradonna und Pele das Formel 1 Lenkrad von Schumi, die Staatskarossen der Päpste und Ihre Papa-Mobile. Auch kann man im Inneren im gepflegten Freirestaurant gemütlich Kaffee trinken einen Snack nehmen. Es war anstrengend, da ich aber keinen Zeitdruck hatte, sehr schön. Überall gibt es Bänke und Plätze Pause zu machen. Das High-Light, natürlich die Sixtinische Kapelle, der Ort der geheimen Papstwahl des Konklave, mit der wundervollen Malerei Michelangelos. Ich hatte mir vorher bei "headout" eine Eintrittskarte besorgt, der Eintritt und die Betreuung waren super, es sparte viel Zeit, da wir ohnesonst üblich lange Wartezeit sofort Einlass bekamen. Im Museeum giebt es einen Audio Guide für 8 EUR, der erklärt alle Sehenswürdigkeiten einfach aber intersessant. Viele Räume sind klimatisiert, von der Vatikanischen Post kann man direkt Grüße an seine Liebsten schreiben. Für mich ein einzigartig tolles Erlebnis, inclusive des Super Veranstalters "headout" kann ich wärmstens empfehlen. Liebe Grüße Micha

The crowds at the Vatican weren't too bad as we chose to start our visit at 4 pm or so. After about 2 hours, we were ready for a break and a snack. I was disappointed to find no tables with chairs at them; it was standing room only. It's not much of a break if you have to stand through it! Upon leaving the Vatican, we were approached by a taxi driver who asked if we wanted to engage him. We said yes and got in his taxi. To make a long story short, he overcharged us for the ride and, after I had given him a €50 note, he said I had only given him a €10. I was sure I had given him €50 to pay the €48 we owed. He said no, I had only given him a €10. Feeling rushed, flustered and tired after our time at the Vatican, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, only to later discover I had given him €50 and then another €20 and 3 - €10 Euro notes. Plus, I tipped him €5 Euros!! So in the end I had given him €105 Euros for an inflated taxi ride of €48. I felt like such an idiot, but in reality I had been intentionally scammed by a taxi driver, who targets patrons leaving the Vatican. Needless to say, this event left a very sour taste in my mouth regarding my Vatican visit.

We had an amazing fast-track experience in Rome with Headout while visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Pantheon. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and having guides help us through the entrances made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We skipped the massive queues and got inside surprisingly fast, which gave us much more time to actually enjoy the places instead of waiting outside for hours. Inside the Vatican Museums, we explored incredible galleries filled with sculptures, paintings, and centuries of history before reaching the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s famous ceiling in person was honestly breathtaking and completely different from seeing it in pictures. The atmosphere inside the chapel felt surreal and unforgettable. We also visited the Pantheon, which was another huge highlight of the day. The architecture, the enormous dome, and the history behind the building were genuinely impressive. Overall, the experience felt very premium, comfortable, and memorable, and the fast-track access with Headout made exploring these iconic places in Rome so much easier and more enjoyable.

Visiting the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel was one of the highlights of my trip to Rome. The skip-the-line tickets saved us a huge amount of time and made the experience smooth from the start. The museums are breathtaking, with endless galleries filled with incredible art, history, and stunning architecture. The absolute highlight was seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. Standing beneath that ceiling was a truly unforgettable moment and something I had dreamed about for years. Despite the large crowds, everything was well organized, and there was plenty to admire along the way. Every room revealed another treasure, making the visit feel like a journey through centuries of human creativity. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rome.

Eerst werden we weggestuurd omdat de tijd verschoven was en om 12.00 moesten we twee keer vragen, maar daarna in 2 minuten binnen, alleen wordt er niet verteld dat je door een volstrekt oninteressant stuk van het Vaticaan museum wordt gevoerd!!! ANDERHALF UUR, daarna mag je 5 minuten door de sixtijnse kapel lopen ( die zo vol is dat je je als een haring in een ton voelt) we konden een zitplaats vinden en op ons gemak omhoog kijken, we waren diep onder de indruk.

Tout c'est bien déroulé. Juste un reproche, la personne qui accueille au point de rv, semble assez pressée, elle parle très vite en anglais pour donner les explications. Pour les personnes qui ne comprennent pas parfaitement l'anglais, c'est difficile de comprendre. Elle ne s'est pas assurée que tout le monde avait compris. On était plusieurs groupes à n'avoir pas compris grand chose. Pour se rendre sur le site et a l'entrée, elle marche trop rapidement.

    Es hat alles geklappt mit den schnellen Eintritten - das ist bei der Menge an Touristen und Warteschlangen "Gold wert ", wie man so schön sagt. Gefühlt habe ich dafür auch "Gold" bezahlt... Ich war bissl spät dran, und bei anderen Anbieter gab es meine Zeitfenster für die Woche Urlaub nicht mehr. Hier habe ich noch alles bekommen, und wie gesagt, es hat alles geklappt/funktioniert - aber es war ja "nur" Eintritt (ich weiß, das ist Luxus an diesen Hotspots), keine Führung, kein Guide, im Kolosseum ein Audioguide zum runterladen mit ein paar Infos.... für luxioröse 239€... Es sind 4 Sterne, weil, wie gesagt, alles reibungslos geklappt hat (und ich die Sterne nicht mehr ändern konnte), aber es war echt etwas zu teuer, aber ich bin ja selber schuld, wenn ich das zahle... 😉
