Your experience
The Vatican Museums stretch over 5 miles and often newcomers miss some of the great highlights while meandering through the less-touted rooms.
To avoid this, join this night tour in which an ace guide will unveil to you the remarkable treasures of this odd collection.
Amongst the attractions are the Raphael Rooms, showcasing Raphael’s frescoes — like The Well-Known Philosophers of Athens which much pleases one with its humanist grace and lively colors — a great variety of classical statuary works; among them notables such as The Belvedere Torso coming out very male and in pieces.
Much, much ever, the loudest crowd does not underplay the importance of the Sistine Chapel.
However, it is usually during peak season that its impact gets diluted because of a overwhelming number of visitors.
Do not let the brilliance of this extraordinary site get overshadow by anything else; it is advisable to take this night tour and experience 12,000 square feet of Michelangelo’s frescoes in the calmness and tranquility of the evening hours.
The guide will bring out deeper meanings in some magnificent creations like The Last Judgement and The Creation of Adam.
