[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure if you can just wander into St. Peter’s square the way you can wander into other square or plazas.  It’s part of the Vatican complex so you would need tickets, go through security, etc.  there might be a tour that skips the museum and just does the plaza, st Peter’s and sistenr chapel.  Our museum tour was pretty good — only there less than an hour and they hit the highlights and explained what we were looking at.  My kids (12 and 14) are not fans of art museum and they thought it was interesting.  Some of it is just the sheer amount of stuff they have — our tour guide would point us to rooms or halls full of stuff that would be the star item at an American museum that was not even worth our time to walk into.  For me (and I’m Catholic), St. Peter’s was okay but it wasn’t the most interesting or impressive church I’ve seen—it’s very big so, for me at least, didn’t have the wow factor that some other old European churches have.  
If you’re gojng yo do it, I would definitely just get a skip the line highlights tour.  It’s a pain to get into and not super close to other things so it’s not the place you’re going to just want to wander into.  That would be frustrating and waste most of your time in a not very charming way.  It’s just a binary decision I think—whether you are interested enough to give up half a day and a few hundred dollars to do this, or not.  It is cool but there are lots of cool things in Rome.[/quote]
