Musei Vaticani & the Sistine Chapel

Why locals love it

Musei Vaticani is one of Rome’s most precious treasures and, unsurprisingly, one of the city’s top tourist attractions. Locals only visit the museums once or twice in a lifetime, so don’t expect to meet us there. Nevertheless, Musei Vaticani and its Sistine Chapel are must-see sights when in Rome.
