The Vatican Museums experiences over 25000 visitors every day. But if you are getting an opportunity to see these beautiful places without any crowd, it’s an opportunity one can’t miss. There is a Gallery of Maps that appears to glow in the dark.
When there’s no crowd, the Sistine Chapel looks three times bigger than its original size. And the ceiling also looks absolutely taller.
About the VIP Pass
If you have the Vatican and Sistine Chapel pass, you’ll have permission to visit rooms of the Vatican Museums that are closed to the public. People with the pass can go inside the Sistine Chapel after hours, when it’s only open for 15 people. It’s an opportunity where one can gaze at Michelangelo’s famous ceiling fresco. And looking at such a beauty without the usual crowds is an ultimate way of experiencing this iconic site. Besides, one can also view secret places including the Room of Gold and Raphael’s Rooms.

About Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel in the Apostolic Palace is the official residence of the pope in Vatican City. It’s famous as the Cappella Magna or the Great Chapel and is named after Pope Sixtus IV. It was built between 1473 and 1481. Today, the chapel is the site of the papal conclave, the process through which a new pope is selected. The prime feature of the Sistine Chapel lies in the frescoes that decorate the interior and ceilings of the chapel.
