Hoogtepunten

Route

1. Whether you choose before the doors officially open or after the day visitors have left, step into the heart of the Vatican’s artistic wonder and explore the Museums at its most peaceful. With your expert guide marvel at the vivid detail of the Gallery of Maps, the opulence of the Gallery of Candelabras, and the intricate tapestries woven centuries ago. Stand beneath the frescoed ceilings of the Raphael Rooms and discover ancient sculptures and treasures collected by popes through the ages. With fewer people around you, it’s easier to slow down, look up, and truly take it all in—this is the Vatican at its most awe-inspiring.

2. As you move between galleries, you’ll pass through the Vatican’s Pine Courtyard—a curious, elegant space that feels like a brief step into another world. At its center stands the massive bronze pinecone by Donato Bramante, originally from ancient Rome, flanked quietly by two bronze peacocks that once adorned Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum. Small but iconic, this open-air courtyard hints at the layers of time, symbolism, and artistry woven throughout the Vatican. It’s a momentary pause in a labyrinth of wonders—a place that leaves an impression, even in passing.

3. Step into the Sistine Chapel in near silence, with only a few other exclusive guests present. This is a rare moment—without the crowds, without the noise—where your guide can speak freely inside the chapel, sharing the meaning behind Michelangelo’s ceiling and The Last Judgment. With time to linger and space to truly look, this is not just a visit, but an experience the sacred, astonishing, and unforgettable. To stand here almost alone is something few ever do—but none ever forget and without doubt one of the best ways to see the Sistine Chapel.

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.
