This was my second visit to the Vatican Museums (the first one being around 15 years ago) and it was still a great experience. This time we visited at night which was good as it allowed us to maximise our sightseeing time. Don't expect it to be empty though - it was still quite busy. The entrance was poorly signed and heaps of people were pushing in with no staff policing things. However, once inside things are a bit better. We prepaid for the audioguides which were worth it but take note the the fee does not automatically include earphones - either bring your own or pay 1.50 Euro for a single, uncomfortable earphone. Aside from the amazing artwork on display, remember to look up at the amazing ceilings or you will miss out on half the experience!
