Two major things I would point out here - follow the signs (English & Italian) and obey the rules (dress code, no photos) - you can't go far wrong! Have your passport handy for admittance to the museum.
Disabled Access In and Around
Average
Getting around St Peter's Square is easy as it is on the flat - but when we saw The Pope, there were crowds to be negotiated. It's basically find a space! Entry into The Vatican Museum is via a lift then there is a long walk through several galleries filled with awesome treasures to The Cistine Chapel (there is a stairlift), which is packed with people. There is a lift up to The Basilica & a ramp into it.
Parking & Transport
0I would strongly advise going on foot - as I did.
Accessible Toilets
Average
There are various toilets dotted around The Vatican - just ask.
Staff
Average
Variable - ranging from the helpful to the offhand. (But they all speak English.)
Additional Information
For sheer interest sake - even if you're not particularly religious, it is well worth a visit.
