    Save money! Buy tickets inside the museum, not in agency or bus.

    Strange as it may sounds, have been to this place several times and never saw the Pope... Who cares?! :)

    You have to have cash if you are going to buy something inside. Cards aren't accepted

    Pre-book tickets from the internet for Museum and St.Peter. Go to Museum entrance straight and avoid all queues.

    Pay attention to the dress code (no tank tops/bare shoulders/shorts). It would stink to wait in that long line just to get turned away! If you have to, buy a couple souvenir scarves to cover up!

    Don't buy anything in the shops around the Vatican City. Everything is super overpriced (e.g. 48€ for a 2gb memory card, 8€ for a piece of pizza, etc.)

    Get here early on a Sunday to get the best view of The Pope's Mid-day Service

    It is exactly one of overrated place in Rome. There are much better places in Rome to visit without any line to wait for hours. Go to Pantheon, Piezza Popolo, etc...
