Zhuilima7716: "Praying in the Sistine Chapel is a profound, almost otherworldly experience. As you kneel beneath Michelangelo's awe-inspiring frescoes, the weight of history and artistry envelops you. The serenity of the chapel, despite the throngs of visitors, creates a personal sanctuary. The ethereal beauty of The Last Judgment above and the biblical scenes on the ceiling draw your thoughts to higher realms. The sacred ambiance enhances your prayers, making them feel intimately connected to centuries of devotion. This blend of artistic genius and spiritual sanctity fosters a deep sense of reverence and peace. Praying here isn't just a moment of faith; it’s a connection to the divine through the timeless lens of human creativity."

2. Grecco Enjoy

What travelers say:

TA用户: "We stayed at a VRBO right around the corner and Caffe Grecco was a great start to our trip every day. The espresso drinks were great and not that pricey. The pastries were amazing and also a good value. The workers at the shop were very friendly. They didn't all know English but they tried very hard to get our order right and they still kept a smile. This seemed like a local place with regulars that the workers seemed to know. We fit in fine and did not feel out of place. I would recommend you stop by here for a quick cappuccino and pastry if you are in the area."
