只有两个中正纪念堂大,过境还要检查,就像过海关一样很特别 最重要的当然是来这参观博物馆囉,创世纪最让我印象深刻了

梵蒂冈是世界上最小的国家，所以可以算是去了一个未去过的国家。其实，过境时没有任何检查，甚至国境在哪儿也不很清楚，墙内应该是梵蒂冈，但比如梵蒂冈博物馆前的小广场属于梵蒂冈？还是属于意大利？那就不知道了。所以感觉不到来到了另一个国家。可这个小国家很有魅力，可以说是艺术品的一大宝库，好好看的话，一两天是肯定不够的。我们这次看一天，看漏了的文物也不少，希望有时再来补充一下。

按照我的理解 梵蒂冈城是进不去的 开放给游客参观的是教堂和博物馆 真正的中心是不开放的 也就是那些有卫兵把守的地方 卫兵制服很有特色。。。

位于大教堂前方的一大片场地，广场中间是方尖碑，周围有很多凳子，也不知是不是用来做什莫特殊仪式用的，广场每天都能汇集世界各地不同肤色的游客，很多很多金发美女呦

Visited Vatican City (Vatican Museum , St.Peter's ) in March. We were about to enter from the museum entrance without a guide but the queue is always huge. Ticket is 20 euro if you try it alone. Thing is that waiting over 2 hours is something painful. The alternative is to go with a guided tour which will give you the chance with 35 euro to enter the Vatican museum without waiting at all, and go first to the museum, after that to Cappella Sistina and through there to St.Peters.No waiting in any of these. The guide is responsible and having his/her way to get you through. Totally worth it in my opinion.

Start early, make sure you pre purchase tickets so you can walk straight in. Large bags need to be stored and there is so much to see in the museum. Young children will get tired but lots to distract them with. The Sistine Chapel won't disappoint but unless children understand the story behind it, it will mean little to them. Silencio!!

This year I've visited Vatican for the first time together with my fiancee, and we've both found this place magical. It's an enjoyable combination of spirituality, art and architecture;What make the atmosphere even nice was the fact that we've matched to listen to pope francis prayer.

Vatican city is absolutely magical, you have to see it during the day and in the night as well. We've been there at sunset and there no words to describe how magical it was. :)

There was a Mass being held there ... what a great experience.But if you don't mind queuing .... it will be worth it.

I had no idea The Vactican City, is actually a city in itself. It is huge with it's own radio station and hospital. Go with a tour group so to bypass the never ending lines. Anticipate lines wherever you go @ the Vatican, especially St. Peter's. Every waiting minute is worth the effort as it is like nothing on earth. It is a must see. Tip#1. Go EARLY, the earlier the better. Tip #2. Plan to spend the day and wear your best walking shoes. (not recommended for strollers and wheelchairs.)Tip #3. Do Not buy things outside the Vatican. Sadly, it is very commercial and cheap. Tip #4. Keep your valuables close and protected, pick pockets everywhere, even here.

Nice area with so many great things to see. We spent one day here and that was plenty! The quality of craftsmanship and artistic ability is amazing!!

In awe for entire tour.. Plan on a guided tour, otherwise you will be in the que forever. We spent 2 full days. One day with guide and 2nd day attending Sunday Mass on Vatican square. many cheap souvenir shops close to Vatican. Money better spent on souvenirs from museum gift shops.

We very very lucky to have accomadition rather close to the Vatican. Beware of pickpockets, lots of vendors selling items. We decided to walk around the Vatican City following the large exterior wall, big mistake, we got lost and had to get a taxi back to hotel. Overall a beautiful place to see.

My wife and I planned to spend a whole day exploring the Vatican City, and we are so glad we did!The place is stunning, a true wonder, beautiful does not describe it!Everything was perfect, from the efficient and friendly staff, to the warm and caring nuns, and fathers we where lucky to start chatting too.The spirit of the place as you would expect being in the heart of the Catholic Church, was humbling and uplifting at the same time. The way people where asked to remove hats and cover bare shoulders was respectful, then the gift shop had a bobblehead of the Pope! A great balance of old and new world coming together!My wife and I enjoyed every bit of our visit, the grandeur, the spiritualness and the art all breath taking.If you are fit enough, the view from the dome is spectacular!A real must visit!

Loved it in here and finding out it is a little country of its own.We chose the wrong day to go as thee was a Mass on so more thousands of people!
