Full description

Are you tired of waiting in line at the Vatican Museums ticket counter? Then these skip-the-line tickets are for you. They will take you directly to an art collection so vast that you can explore it at your own pace. Once inside the museum, pay attention only to the most important parts— there are several galleries with priceless masterpieces. You will soon reach the Sistine Chapel and be able to admire its stunning interiors: remember to look up at the ceiling where Michelangelo's masterpiece awaits you. The depiction of the Last Judgement clearly demonstrates why he is considered one of history's greatest artists due not only his skill but also vision. Further down this path through Vatican Museums are four rooms decorated by Raphael and his workshop. Take time appreciating frescoes created at a time when these two masters competed for commissions from Pope Julius II — considered by many art historians as peak Italian Renaissance art along with works found later on Michelangelo’s ceiling.
