Most people visit the Vatican in the wrong order.

The Vatican Museums use timed entry and once you reach the Sistine Chapel, what you do next matters.

There’s a direct exit into St. Peter’s Basilica… but not everyone can use it.

Guided tours, like the Walks of Italy Vatican tour I reference here — include that direct access and make the entire visit much smoother.
