Description

Enjoy a small-group tour of the Vatican Museums in Rome on an exploration of Vatican City, the smallest country in the world and one of the holiest places in Christianity. Skip the ticket line and beat the long lines outside so that you spend more time admiring the destination.

Discover the Pope’s vast art collection, containing about 7 km of art. Gain insights from your guide as they show you highlights such as the Pio-Clementino Museum and its ancient statues, the Gallery of Maps and its cartographic frescoes, and the Gallery of Tapestries and its Flemish wall hangings.

Continue your tour with a visit to the Sistine Chapel, a treasure trove of artistic beauty that is a must-see destination in its own right. Marvel at Italian artist Michelangelo’s spectacular ceiling, recognized all around the world for its artistic achievement.

Stand in awe before The Last Judgment fresco covering the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, and The Creation of Adam on the ceiling. Learn why Michelangelo nearly refused such a challenging commission, and why his eventual masterpiece became a cornerstone of the Renaissance.
