Overview

Discover Vatican’s top attractions on a guided tour with reserved entrance and see some of the most beautiful sites and art collections in the world.

Admire the beautiful Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel and admire the masterpieces of old masters like Michelangelo and Raphael. Explore the Pio Clementine Museum, Belvedere Courtyard and more.

Explore the Vatican Museums and the exquisite Sistine Chapel. Head to the Vatican Museums and let your guide bring the works of art to life at the Pinecone Courtyard, the Hall of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Candelabra.

Enjoy informative live commentary by your expert guide on the places you visit and the artworks you see.

Later, visit the magnificent Sistine Chapel. Spend time inside the world-famous room to pick out the details you hear about – Michelangelo’s self-portrait, for example, in which he expresses to the world that he would rather be skinned alive than paint in the Sistine Chapel again. As incredible as his work is, it must have been back-breaking – a fact you’ll understand all the better after you learn what it takes to create a fresco.
