Itinerary

  1. Delve into the remarkable collections of the Vatican Museum, home to thousands of years of artistic and historical treasures. Wander through its elegantly adorned halls, where you’ll encounter masterpieces from renowned artists, including the stunning Raphael Rooms, showcasing the brilliance of the Renaissance. Don't miss the Gallery of Maps, an impressive corridor filled with beautifully detailed frescoes that depict the geographical knowledge of the 16th century, offering a captivating glimpse into Italy’s rich history.

    2 hAdmission included

  2. We are pleased to inform you that the Sistine Chapel has officially reopened to the public following the Vatican’s mourning period for the late Pope Francis. With the recent and historic election of His Holiness Pope, the Vatican has now resumed full visitor access, and the Sistine Chapel is once again included in your Vatican Museums visit. Step into the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, the final stop of your Vatican Museums experience, and witness one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance. Marvel at Michelangelo's iconic frescoes, including the awe-inspiring ceiling and The Last Judgment behind the altar—works that have inspired visitors for centuries. The Sistine Chapel is not only a work of art but also a sacred space of immense historical significance—it's where the Papal Conclave was recently held to elect the new Pope. Visiting now offers a rare opportunity to experience this extraordinary site just after a key moment in Church history.

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.
