- The Vatican Museum, Vatican City
(We were off at 530am to get to the Vatican Museum, on our last full day in Rome. Our hotel tried to get tickets online, but due to this being 02Jan, the first day in 2016 that it's opened to the public, agents pushed it over 50euro per ticket. We were content to queue for it, for only 16euro at the museum gate. The 2hr queue from 6.40am was an experience in itself. The Vatican Museum is huge, carrying some of the world's masterpieces of the Renaissance period by Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Raphael. Once inside, you can feel how special this museum is. You get to see views of the Vatican City that you won't get by only visiting the St Peter's Basilica, which our 2 previous tours covered. Here, all the museum pieces seemed alive!)
