We've all seen the pictures but it doesn't compare to seeing it with your own eyes. After a two hour stand in the rain our souls were cleansed and once inside it was the most fantastic visual overload! Worth the money/time? Of course, however recommend one does not go during Easter week and to wear very comfortable shoes. We plan to go again this fall - even if crowded.
Any place in Italy is fantastic, Italy is my favorite country in the world, the food, is exelente, the people very hart to forget: I LOVE ITALY!!!!!!!!!

We just got back from seeing London, Paris and Rome. Saw a lot of really amazing sights: Westminster, the British Museum, the Musee d'Orsay, St. Peters. Our guided tour through the Vatican Museum, which focused on the Sistine, was definitely the highlight, as far as tourist attractions went. The Sistine is much larger than we expected, covered ...

Recently arrived at the chapel at 8am to find about five hundred people on line. Despite the fact that tour books state it opens at 8:45-it does not. We were,however,offered immediate entry-to skip the line for 80Euros!!! We could well have afforded it but on principle refused-how disgusting that the catholic church can be bought!!!!!

Amazing

It was absolutely beautiful, but take some time to see the museums. For example, the Greek museum has two mummies which are cool. Standing there inside the chapel looking at the same ceiling that centuries of people have shared is an amazing experience. There are only two problems. First, the guards who are supposed to quite the crowds end up ...

WOW!! Breath takingly beautiful

Even with the longest line I have ever been in, it was worth the wait! While you are in line you walk by some of the most beautiful art you have ever seen. Walking into the Sistine Chapel takes your breath away. It is a MUST SEE if you are ever in Rome.

boring...

just was uninterseting but that's my opinion nothing out of the usual for me...if you are out a lot i might recommend going if you dont like going through like a 2 hour mueseum then don't go.
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel has recently been restored, and it's amazing to see so much of Michelangelo's work in one room. Of course, everyone else agrees and it's very crowded, so it's best to go early in the morning.
I have traveled around the world and seen art in musuems such as the Louvre, the Uffizi, and the National Gallery of art in Washington D.C. but nothing compares to the Sistine chapel ceiling. Michelangelo's heart and soul is in his artwork and as you walk along the tiled floor staring at the ceiling you get a sense of just how much he put into it.
