Your experience

Because there are a great many important things to see, it can be daunting going on one's own.

Therefore, take the advice to secure the services of an expert guide who will walk you through what is, in fact, the world's second-largest museum.

Feast your eyes on works by some of the most famous artists in history—Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Michelangelo—whose wall space and actual walls within 2,000 rooms of the museum have at their disposal to fill with treasures.

Next up is the Sistine Chapel, another main feature of this tour.

Watch out for Michelangelo's hidden self-portrait and see the famous ‘Creation of Adam’.

This tour ends inside the Sistine Chapel.

After you have completed your experience, feel free to discover more of the Vatican by going into St.

Peter's Basilica at your own speed.

Come in to find the center of Catholicism.
