4. Be prepared to walk a lot to see the Sistine Chapel: To see the Sistine Chapel, you have to go through the entire Vatican museum, which takes over an hour.

3. Bring a scarf to cover your shoulders or knees: You must have your shoulders and knees covered to enter the churches and bringing a scarf to cover yourself is a light, easy option.

2. Students should bring their student IDs: Students can pay 8 euro instead of 15, but only if you have a student ID with you.

1. Bring a water bottle: You can refill it with fresh, cold water from fountains on the streets for free. You will be walking a lot so it is important to stay hydrated!
