At least they do a better job at preserving their heritage than we do!!Lisbeth wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 12:03 pm One of the "curses" of Italy is that there are too many artefactsThey simply cannot keep up with them and many end up falling to pieces, like the Colosseum was about about to do, if a private moneybag had not taken over and paid for it, luckily

Luckily we had pre-booked so we could skip the line. I also wouldn't have waited for 4 hours. It was busy, but you can spend as long as you want in the museums...no rush.RogerFraser wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 1:36 pm. Don't think I have the patience to sit for 4 hours just to get in would probably have given up and gone elsewhere -I tend to do the same in the gameparks when I see queues

I'm not sure why you're not allowed to take photos in the Sistine Chapel, but there are guards everywhere to make sure that you don't.
