Rute

1. Meet your expert tour guide and bypass the notoriously long admission lines to enter the sprawling complex of the Vatican Museums. Equipped with individual headsets so you can hear every detail clearly, your guide will navigate you through miles of magnificent hallways containing centuries of papal art collections and classical antiquities. Walk through the open-air Pinecone Courtyard (Cortile della Pigna) to admire its 4-meter Roman bronze pinecone before entering the Pio-Clementino Museum, home to iconic ancient sculptures like Laocoön and His Sons and the Belvedere Torso. Continue along the grand halls to marvel at the 16th-century tapestries in the Gallery of Tapestries and the gilded ceiling of the 120-meter Gallery of Maps. Before moving forward, step inside the private papal apartments known as the Raphael Rooms (Stanze di Raffaello) to view monumental Renaissance frescoes, including The School of Athens.

2. Step inside the world’s most famous sacred room, the Sistine Chapel, where papal conclaves gather to elect new Popes. Out of respect for the sacred nature of the venue, absolute silence is observed inside; your guide will provide a thorough walkthrough of the artwork beforehand so you can appreciate every detail. Look up at the soaring vaulted ceilings painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, featuring dramatic biblical scenes such as The Creation of Adam. Stand before the altar wall to absorb the emotion and power of Michelangelo's massive masterpiece, The Last Judgment, as well as surrounding wall frescoes painted by Renaissance masters Botticelli, Perugino, and Ghirlandaio.

3. Your guide will take you to St Peter Basilica by utilizing the reserved group passageway leading directly from the chapel into Saint Peter’s Basilica. Once inside the magnificent basilica, your guide will bid you farewell, leaving you with complete freedom to explore the largest church in Christendom at your own pace. Wander beneath the soaring 136-meter dome to discover world-famous masterpieces without feeling rushed. Take all the time you need to admire Michelangelo’s deeply moving marble sculpture, La Pietà, and stand before Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s colossal 29-meter bronze Baldacchino towering over the papal altar. When you are finished exploring, step out into St. Peter's Square.

About Roma

Roma pakker nesten tre tusen år med historie inn i én by du kan gå rundt i, fra Colosseum og Forum til barokke plasser og Vatikanets kunst.

Det antikke Roma er fortsatt synlig overalt. Colosseum, Forum Romanum og Palatinhøyden ligger sammen i hjertet av byen, Pantheon står ennå med sin åpne oculus, og rester av templer og akvedukter dukker opp mellom leilighetsbygningene. På den andre siden av Tiberen rommer Vatikanstaten Peterskirken, Vatikanmuseene og Michelangelos tak i Det sixtinske kapell.
