The Sistine Chapel Tour

What do you think of when you hear the word “Rome”? Chances are the word evokes images of history - the Coliseum, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican. When you win this opportunity of a lifetime, and decide what to see, near the top of the list no doubt will be the vaunted “Sistine Chapel.”

You may want to spend an afternoon here and imagine what it was like when Michelangelo worked here.


  
Key things to remember: the Sistine Chapel is at the end of a series of Vatican Museums that you must first go through in order to reach the Chapel.

The recommendation: Set aside no less than 90 minutes to see the Chapel. Since it is at the end of the museums, getting to the Chapel and going back to the exit takes time. On top of that, you must budget time for viewing the Chapel.

  

Entrance on the last Sunday of each month is free, but you can count on spending a decent amount of money on any other day.

Wear proper attire for your visit: shorts, miniskirts and sleeveless shirts are not allowed. This is a very important point to keep in mind, as they will refuse entry to those not dressed properly.

  
The drawing for the Romantic Trip to Rome for Two is only 10 weeks away.  Remember that each time you dine at Carlino's restaurant, you'll have another opportunity to win.  So please come and join us often. Who knows, you may be the lucky winner on your way to Italy!
 
Warmest regards,
