We will not be in Rome for long, and we do not want to go to museums. I want to see the most beautiful places. Hence the question: do I need to buy a ticket to the Vatican to see the area of St.. Peter and the Sistine Chapel?

Responds Victor Breescu, the company Moscow City Travel Bureau

St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Cathedral are open for free. In the Sistine Chapel, you need to buy a ticket. In the cathedral you must follow the rules of visiting the Catholic churches: necessarily covered with clothing feet and shoulders.
