Itinerary

  1. Discover the Vatican Museums Begin in the Courtyard of the Pine Cone, with its massive bronze sculpture and a view of St. Peter’s Basilica. Admire masterpieces like the Statue of Perseus, the Apollo Belvedere, and the dramatic Laocoön and His Sons. Explore the grand Sala Rotonda and the Greek Cross Room before walking through the ornate Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of the Tapestries, and the stunning Gallery of the Maps—a journey through history, art, and architecture.

    2 hAdmission included

  2. The Majesty of the Sistine Chapel Step into the Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican. Gaze up at Michelangelo’s breathtaking ceiling, where scenes like The Creation of Adam unfold with stunning detail. Behind the altar, the powerful Last Judgment covers the entire wall, depicting souls rising to heaven and falling to damnation. Surrounding frescoes by Botticelli, Perugino, and others complete this sacred masterpiece. More than art, the chapel is a place of history, spirituality, and unparalleled beauty.

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.
