Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums Small Group Tour

Join the more than five million people who come here each year to visit the very heart of Catholic faith worldwide.

Discover Vatican City, gaining access to its main attractions—the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

Renowned for breathtaking beauty, rich history, and deep artistic and religious value, the Vatican—also a UNESCO World Heritage Site—makes a great place to stop on your travels.

From amazing paintings and sculptures to religious art and architecture, not forgetting the Pontifical Swiss Guards who have protected the Pope since 1506, few things compare with the sheer grandeur of the Holy See.

Choose the early morning option to start your discovery of beauty in the Vatican with as little crowding as possible.

Walk quietly in less hushed surroundings through the Vatican Museums and famous Sistine Chapel; or select late morning visit for about half-day later.

With your expert guide, explore the museums to find the largest art collection in the world belonging to them, featuring some of the finest sculptures and works from the Renaissance period.

Walk on through Candelabra Gallery, partitioned into six splendid rooms displaying art taken from all over the land to bridge relics of the Roman Empire with today’s time.

Then, explore this remarkable Gallery of Tapestries boasting a very large collection of tapestries done by Raffaello Sanzio showing a whole variety of Catholic tales and legends.

After that, join your guide for a walk through the Gallery of Maps where it would be perfect for those travelers who have any sort of interest in sciences.

See global maps made by Roman topographers giving one a glimpse into historical views about the world.

The next stop will be at Sistine Chapel to see beautifully painted frescoes adorning both ceiling and walls of chapel.

It will tell you what to look for in the chapel and answer any questions you have when you leave.

After that, you can go to St.

Peter's Basilica and see it on your own, because going into the basilica is free.
