Good

t is a very busy place during the summer. Plan and buy your tickets in advance. Follow the signs to the Sistine Chapel inside and take your time to enjoy other rooms, as there are no shortcuts to go directly to the chapel. This is done to prevent overcrowding inside the chapel. You should expect to spend about three hours.
