Fabulous collection; poor logistics. Traffic is directed in only one direction. Can not walk back, or retrace steps. Requires more walking and climbing than necessary. Sistine Chapel a disappointment. So many people, lights kept low. Diffiicult to see frescos. Michelangelo's ceiling frescos much smaller than pictures portray. Raphael Rooms a treasure but was given wrong directions by Museum staff 4 times., Read up on frescos and who is pictured and you will really enjoy them. Cafateria OK. Is only place in Rome I found Pepsi.
