Take in the highlights of the Vatican Museums, from the Sistine Chapel to lesser-known gems of the collection. Skip the ticket lines and enter the museums to visit the Hall of Maps, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Candelabra and the incredible Raphael Rooms.

A definite highlight of your visit is the Sistine Chapel. Take some time to admire the details you have heard about, including Michelangelo’s boneless self-portrait, in which he expresses to the world that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again!

As incredible as his work is, you’ll appreciate it even more up close and after you’ve seen what it takes to create a fresco.

The ticket includes a Rome city audio guide with over 50 points of interest in Rome. After the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel visit, continue your experience around Rome with a self guided tour. The staff on site will guide you in configuring the application on your smartphone and will give you all the information you should need.
