Itinerary
Admire art, history, and culture - unparalleled collection of masterpieces that span centuries of human creativity. The museums boast an impressive array of Renaissance art, Greek and Roman antiquities, and early Christian artifacts. The Gallery of Maps, the Pinecone Courtyard, and the Raphael Rooms are just a few of the architectural and artistic highlights that make the Vatican Museums a must-visit destination for art lovers and history enthusiasts.

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.
