How to Get the Vatican Museums All to Yourself

"For starters, trade the official tour of St. Peter's Basilica for a free one with English-speaking seminarians for a more intimate, insider's take. And if you want to hear the Pope speak (either Wednesday morning or Sunday midday), make sure to get there at least two hours early for good seats—in this instance, you won't be able to avoid large crowds."
