VATICAN MUSEUMS
Visiting the Vatican Museums is a thrilling and unforgettable experience. With some
7km of exhibitions and more masterpieces than many small countries, this vast mu-
seum complex, housed in the 5.5-hectare Palazzo Apostolico Vaticano, contains one of
the world's greatest art collections. You'll never manage to cover the whole collection
in one go - it's said that if you spent one minute on every exhibit it would take you 12
years to see everything - so it pays to be selective.
