Begin the visit at the Courtyard of the Armoury with a view of the Vatican Gardens and move to the Courtyard of the Pine Cone located in the core of old papal buildings.

Pass through many halls of Belvedere Palace which were used by Pope as summer rooms and now house Pio Clementino Museum known for its great collection of Greek and Roman artefacts including Belvedere Apollo and Laocoon Group.

After this reach three galleries that form way to papal apartments: Gallery of Candelabra, Gallery of Tapestries (having works from Peter Van Aelst’s Flemish workshop),and third one called as Gallery of Maps decorated with frescoed maps of Italy ordered by Pope Gregory XIII.
