Your experience

Museums of the Vatican With an itinerary capable of embracing more than two millennia, the Museums of the Vatican represent a synthesis between magnificent galleries and historical corridors comprising one of the most important collections in the world.

A walk within their walls gives occasion after occasion to glimpse treasures that have left indelible marks on human history, from ancient artifacts out of Egypt to masterpieces created during the Renaissance.

Highlights are the Raphael Rooms, individual School of Athens by making famous philosophers incredibly colorful and harmonious, and the Gallery of Maps an amazing corridor decorated with detailed maps from the 16th century of Italy.

They will also find classical sculpture, holy relics, and discover the graceful Spiral Staircase, known as one of the most photographed spots in all of Vatican City.

The Vatican Museums are the way in for the Sistine Chapel.

Your trip will turn into a full mix of culture, faith, and art.

To make the most of your visit, think about booking through GetYourGuide so you can use fast-track entry before big crowds come.

Listen to expert talk and find out about hidden meanings in the art works and details that most visitors miss.

Step into one of the world’s most famous landmarks—the Sistine Chapel.

Located at the very heart of Vatican City, this sacred space goes far beyond its simplistic definition as a chapel; in fact, it is here that history is constantly made through the election of Popes while simultaneously drawing in millions upon millions of tourists every year.

There are very few places where art, spirituality, and cultural importance interlace to such depths, making it a must-add stop on any trip to Rome.

The great work of the Sistine Chapel is in its ceiling by Michelangelo, created during the years 1508 to 1512.

More than 500 square meters come alive with the story of Genesis through indelible images, at their center Creation of Adam.

To see these frescoes in person is an experience no photograph, however beautiful, could replicate; detail and color and scale are absolutely stunning.

The great artist Michelangelo later came back to the wall and painted The Last Judgment there; a moving piece showing both heaven and hell was completed by 1541.

This work alone is worth seeing, with hundreds of lively figures in action.

Joined by works from Botticelli, Perugino, and more master artists of the Renaissance age, beauty wraps people from floors to ceilings inside this place.
