Begin a moving journey through art and faith with quick access to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, skipping the long ticket lines.

Then, enjoy your visit at a pace that feels right for you.

Walk the Greek Cross Gallery to look at well-carved sarcophagi, which may keep the bodies of famous kings and queens from old times.

See the Cabinet of the Masks or walk into the Sala degli Animali where you can view a made-up group of odd animals, real and not real.

Move through the Upper Galleries, like the Gallery of Maps, to see changing pictures of the world as shown by mapmakers over time.

See for yourself the great works Renaissance artists put up in the Raphael Rooms, then relax in the Borgia Apartments.

After that, get ready to see Michelangelo's awesome Sistine Chapel.

People think it's the best thing in the Vatican and maybe even one of the most important pieces of art in the world.
