The Vatican

Hello Sherry, My wife and I were there last week and booked a visit to the Vatican museum on a Friday night. You have to make a reservation ahead of time on the Vatican website. The night visits are only available on Fridays all summer and by reservations only which will guarantee less crowds. When we went we never felt crowded and at times we even had some rooms all to ourselves. The only drawback I can think of is that some rooms are closed. On the night we went the Pinacoteca was closed, but the Raphael rooms were opened as well as the Sistine Chapel. I can certainly recommend it. Hope you have as much of a grand time as we did.

We will be in Rome on a Mon, Tue and Wed so will not be able to take advantage of the Fri visit.
