Hoogtepunten

Start your day with first access to the Vatican Museums—no waiting in line, no crowds. Join a small group tour with a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide and explore the Vatican’s most iconic masterpieces before the rush begins. Choose between two group sizes—intimate (up to 10 guests) or group (up to 20 guests)—for the experience that suits you best. Your expert guide will lead you through the galleries with engaging stories and insights, revealing the legends, symbolism, and history behind the treasures of the Museums. At the tour’s grand finale, step into the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel and witness Michelangelo’s masterpieces, including The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Now ALWAYS included: skip-the-line access from the Vatican Museums directly into St. Peter’s Basilica. While this access does not include a guided tour, it allows you to bypass the long lines and enter the Basilica at your own pace.

  4. The most famous wing of the Vatican Museums, the Pio Clementino museum contains much of the Museum's most important highlights. Your guide will take you through the Room of the Animals, where you can spot the life-like statues of fauna from around the world. Head to the Octagonal Courtyard where a small fountain trickles in the background of famous statues like the Laocoonte and Apollo Belvedere. Don't forget to look at the Candelabra Gallery - master painters decorated these ceilings to create the illusion of a 3D effect centuries ago!

  5. Head with your guide to the Gallery of the Maps and get a perspective of the world how it was five centuries ago. These exquisitely detailed, hand-painted giant maps are a favorite of the Vatican Museums. See if you can find the Italian cities you have visited, or spot the nod to Christopher Columbus' journey to the Americas.

About Rome

Rome legt bijna drieduizend jaar geschiedenis in één stad die je te voet beleeft, van Colosseum en Forum tot barokke pleinen en Vaticaanse kunst.

Het oude Rome ligt nog altijd open en bloot. Het Colosseum, het Forum Romanum en de Palatijn staan samen in het hart van de stad, het Pantheon prijkt nog steeds met zijn open oculus en tussen de woonblokken duiken brokstukken van tempels en aquaducten op. Aan de overkant van de Tiber herbergt Vaticaanstad de Sint-Pietersbasiliek, de Vaticaanse Musea en het plafond van Michelangelo's Sixtijnse Kapel.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
