Itinerary
Enjoy an Italian breakfast with an spectacular rooftop view of St. Peter's Basilica. The direct frontal alignment and elevated terrace perspective causes the dome to appear significantly closer, creating a striking optical illusion.

Discover classical masterpieces, including ancient Roman and Greek sculptures displayed in the elegant Octagonal Courtyard.
Walk through grand marble halls adorned with monumental candelabra and exquisite Roman copies of Greek originals.
Admire vibrant Flemish tapestries whose intricate details and perspective effects seem to follow you as you pass.
Explore a spectacular corridor lined with 16th-century topographical maps of Italy, painted in rich color and detail.
Step into the Renaissance brilliance of Raphael’s frescoes, including the famed School of Athens.
Experience Michelangelo’s breathtaking ceiling and Last Judgment in one of the world’s most revered artistic sanctuaries.
Conclude inside the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica, home to Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s magnificent Baldachin — a powerful finale to your VIP Vatican journey.

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.
