"The
Sistine Chapel, located in Vatican City, is one of the most popular
tourist destinations in the world. This relatively small, rectangular
space is visited by an estimated five million people per year, many of
whom stand in line for hours in the hot sun to score a few crowded
minutes beneath its famous frescoes. At any given moment, this solemn
chapel where popes are elected is chock-a-block with college students
snapping clandestine selfies (photography is not allowed), tour guides
silently gesturing (the giving of speeches is also not allowed), and
sweating tourists from all over the world gaping and removing ball caps
as they crane their necks."
