In the Vatican Museums, you will have a fascinating experience as you are guided through a rich journey that starts with the Carriage Gallery, commonly referred to as the ‘Pope’s garage,’ where you can witness the Popemobile. Making your way along with others to marvel at the Staircase of Momo and the Hall of Animals adorned with awe-inspiring works like the Laocoon Group and the Torso of Belvedere. And once again, towards the Flemish Tapestries Gallery, soak in the brilliant beauty of Raphael’s school design.And at last, we get to the place that I enjoy more than any other – The Sistine Chapel; a creation by Pope Julius II in 1508. When you look at Michelangelo’s Creation Story, which is an incredible piece of work that took four years of his life to complete, you can expect your emotions to run wild due to the incredible spectacle that it provides and consists of over 300 figures distributed throughout an area of about 500 square meters.The same master returned to the wall behind the altar after waiting for a while, and he adorned it with greater brilliance. “The Last Judgment” painting was finally finished in 1541; this exceptional piece of art, nonetheless, never ceases to touch and motivate people even today. Exploring the chapel in the company of an expert guide will let you discover multiple hidden paintings and artifacts embodying Michelangelo’s timeless talent and inspiration.Did you ever visit this place and take a shot at discovering where the Conclave gatherings are held? Finally, we come out of Scala Regia and arrive at St. Peter’s Square. Upon reaching the famous Bronze Gate, you are greeted by a Swiss Guard who stands there all day long. The guide leaves with an introduction to St. Peter’s Basilica, so that you can have the freedom to explore it as you wish. Our trip ends now!No waiting in winding lines to walk around the cathedral. If you want to see all of it, go up into the dome (you can purchase your ticket right there).
