Rome 2025 - Day 3

Trying to get 26 on the same metro at rush hour was a challenge, but 20 minutes later were were all at the Vatican museum ready for our guided tour. The anticipation of seeing the Sistine chapel meant all the corridors of tapestries and Roman busts made it worthwhile. 

We took a short cut direct to St Peter’s Basilica with an opportunity to enter the second holy door in as many days. 

Once inside we saw the Pieta and the dome, both created by Michelangelo. 

Lunch was in the Vatican City followed by… yes you guessed it… gelato in Piazza Navona before our final shop!
