As for the Vatican museums: yes they are free last Sunday of the month, which means *really* and I mean *really* long lines to get in. If you are not interested in ancient and Renaissance art, then it probably isn't the place for you.
Honestly, I'm not that into art and really just want to be in the Vatican area and see some of the sites I know. I would think this would mean the square and maybe the Sistine Chapel if possible. I guess I'll go sometime Sunday afternoon and walk around.
Thanks again for some great info. Any other tips are appreciated.
