Is Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel works.

One of the greatest art hoards on earth and genuinely overwhelming — Raphael rooms, map galleries, then the hushed (and not so hushed) Sistine ceiling. The catch is the human conveyor belt: in peak season it can feel like being herded for two hours to glimpse a crowded ceiling for ten minutes.
