What you can expect
Explore the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica on a guided tour. Discover masterpieces like the Raphael Rooms and the Gallery of Tapestries, and witness Michelangelo's iconic Sistine Chapel. Begin at the Vatican Museums, where you’ll stroll through the Gallery of Maps, a hall adorned with 40 frescoed maps of 16th-century Italy. Visit the Raphael Rooms, home to The School of Athens, a Renaissance masterpiece. Admire the Gallery of Tapestries, featuring intricate 16th-century Flemish works depicting biblical stories. Capture the beauty of the Spiral Staircase, an architectural marvel by Giuseppe Momo.
Explore the Pio-Clementine Museum, showcasing ancient Greek and Roman sculptures like Laocoön and His Sons and The Belvedere Torso. Then, enter the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes — including the Genesis ceiling and The Last Judgment — leave a lasting impression. As the site of the papal conclave, the chapel holds deep historical and spiritual significance.
For those on special or extended tours, discover hidden gems like the Gregorian Etruscan Museum, featuring ancient Etruscan artifacts, the Vatican Pinacoteca, with works by Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael, and the Borgia Apartments, adorned with Pinturicchio’s vivid frescoes. Conclude your journey with entry to St. Peter’s Basilica through the internal passage from the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire its grandeur and spiritual legacy.
