與其說Vatican Museums是一座單一博物館，不如說它是一座龐大的藝術迷宮，由歷任教宗在五百年間積累的展館、小堂與典藏交織而成。館藏規模極為驚人：總計約7萬件藏品，約2萬件公開展出，分布於數十座展廳，參觀路線綿延近7公里。從古埃及木乃伊、Raphael的Stanze壁畫群，到現代與當代藝術，藏品無所不包；但整個館區的靈魂核心，無疑是Sistine Chapel內由Michelangelo繪製的天頂畫（1508–1512）與《最後的審判》（Last Judgment，1536–1541）。 除Sistine Chapel外，其他必看亮點包括Raphael Rooms（單是《雅典學院》已值回票價）、Gallery of the Geographical Maps（長達120米、在金碧輝煌天花下展現16世紀濕壁畫地圖的長廊）、Pio-Clementino Museum內的Laocoon與Apollo Belvedere雕像，以及經典的螺旋形Bramante Staircase。館內的古典雕塑典藏足以傲視全球各大博物館，而Pinacoteca繪畫館則珍藏Giotto、Caravaggio與Leonardo達文西等大師的傳世之作。 實用貼士：館內長年人頭攢動，尤其在通往Sistine Chapel的必經通道上最為擁擠。館方設有延長開放的夜間參觀時段，有助分散人流。建議務必提早於網上預訂門票，並盡量選擇平日下午或最後入場時段，參觀體驗會相對從容舒暢。
