St. Peter’s…

St Peter’s Basilica is the other must see attraction in the Vatican. It has been considered the largest church ever built and it remains one of the holiest sites in Christendom.

For visitors going to the Vatican Museums first like we did, I have a huge tip for you. When you are in the Sistene Chapel and are about to leave do NOT exit via the normal door (the one on the left) but rather attach yourselves to the tail of a tour group exiting via the (tour group only) door in the back right.
This exit takes you right to the entrance into St Peter’s rather than having to go back out where you entered the Vatican Museum and having to walk around the outside wall of the Vatican city and join the enormous queue to enter via St Peter’s square. You’ve probably just saved at least an hour of your life.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
