Route

  1. The Vatican museums display works from the great collection built by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries. The Vatican museums are among the most visited and largest museums in the world and the most ancient ever established. In the early 16th century in fact, Pope Julius II founded the museums. Since then, thousands of artworks have been gathered.

  2. Get ready to admire the breath-taking Sistine Chapel, decorated with some of the most beautiful frescoes ever made. The Sistine chapel is part of the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope. Although the Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, the amazing frescoes date back to the patronage of Pope Julius II, at the beginning of the 1500’. It was then when the pope commissioned Michelangelo painting the chapel's ceiling, a project that changed the course of Western art and is regarded as one of the major artistic accomplishments of human civilization. Even more famous is the Last Judgment, from Michelangelo as well. A special place requires special rules: As this is a holy place, there is a dress code policy to comply with. Knees, shoulders and backs must be covered. Pictures cannot be taken at any time. The tour guide cannot give share information concerning the chapel once already in. For this reason the explanation takes place before and after visiting the 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.
