Highlights
Step into the Vatican before the crowds arrive and take in the Papal courtyard in the hush of early morning the same courtyard where popes have welcomed guests for centuries. Feel the history settle around you as the day begins in stillness. Wander the galleries at their most peaceful and enjoy a closer, unhurried view than the average visitor gets: the vivid frescoes of Raphael's Rooms, the endless treasures of the Gallery of Maps, and the crowning glory of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel with its breathtaking Last Judgment. With early access, the corridors are quiet and the museum is yours to explore at your own pace pause where you like, linger over the details, and take it all in without the rush. Feel like a VIP as you experience one of the world's greatest collections in calm and comfort, the way it was always meant to be seen.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
