Your experience
Join us for a captivating after-hours tour of one of the finest museums in the world, exploring the intersection of art and religion.
You will enter the Vatican Museums and begin your odyssey at the Greek Cross Gallery to see its outstanding ancient sarcophagi.
Then comes the Sala degli Animali, where visitors may watch a kind of virtual menagerie of both real and mythical beasts.
Upper Galleries are to be taken at leisurely pace, including that delightful portion known as Gallery of Maps, showing how world cartographers have illustrated their worlds through time.
Allow yourself but a moment to view what many consider one of Vatican Museums's hidden treasures: the Bramante Staircase.
Be beguiled by Raphael Rooms and frescoes like “School of Athens” and “Deliverance of Saint Peter,” almost immediately taking a brief respite in Borgia Apartments.
Finally, get ready to be amazed by Michelangelo’s beautiful Sistine Chapel, the real treasure of the Vatican.
If you want, your guide can go with you to the mosaic workshop and gallery of the Savelli family after your tour.
