Itinerário

1. Upon entering the Sistine Chapel,visitors are immediately encouraged to appreciate the quiet and respectful environment. Since the chapel remains an active place of worship, visitors are expected to maintain silence or speak in whispers. Photography and video recording are generally prohibited inside the chapel, allowing everyone to focus fully on the remarkable artwork rather than capturing images. Visitors should also dress modestly, ensuring their shoulders and knees are covered in accordance with the Vatican's dress code. One of the first things travellers do is look upward to admire the magnificent ceiling painted by the Renaissance master Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. The ceiling contains more than 300 figures and illustrates stories from the Book of Genesis. Visitors often spend several minutes observing the intricate details, vibrant colours, and powerful compositions. Among the most famous scenes is "The Creation of Adam,"

About Roma

Roma sobrepõe quase três mil anos de história numa cidade para percorrer a pé, do Coliseu e do Fórum às praças barrocas e à arte do Vaticano.

A Roma antiga continua à vista de todos. O Coliseu, o Fórum Romano e o Palatino erguem-se juntos no coração da cidade, o Panteão mantém-se de pé com o seu óculo aberto, e fragmentos de templos e aquedutos surgem entre os prédios de habitação. Do outro lado do Tibre, a Cidade do Vaticano guarda a Basílica de São Pedro, os Museus do Vaticano e o teto da Capela Sistina pintado por Miguel Ângelo.
