  • 5 out of 5 stars by artslover from Calgary, Alberta
  • March 4, 2025
Quote: The Vatican Museums are so vast and so stuffed with art, both great and terrible, it is hard to get value out of a visit by wandering pointlessly and unfortunately, there are no helpful written signs by the multitude of works. You can buy an audio... Read the full Vatican Museums review

A Room Filled with Ancient Maps

  • 5 out of 5 stars by Praskipark from Warsaw, Poland
  • January 20, 2025
Quote: Moving on to the Gallery of Maps I found this room fascinating. Both my husband and I adore maps and still would rather use a map than any Sat Nav. This gallery is named after the top 40 topographical maps of Italy. Each map is important as it... Read the full Vatican Museums review
