Your experience

Pre-booked Vatican Museums tour, no-wait access.

Begin in St Peter’s Square just to marvel at the Michelangelo and Bernini masterpieces.

Through on foot exploration, your guide will take you through the Vatican Museums that have been built over the centuries by the Popes, probably holding most of the world 's greatest art collection.

Among others visit Pio Clementino Hall and Laocoon Apollo Belvedere; ancient maps in Gallery of Maps; Candelabra Gallery and Tapestry Gallery with Flemish works inspired by Raphael's students and Sistine Chapel to view great f rescoes by Michelangelo .

As you walk out of the Museum, your guide will lead you to St Peter’s Square so you can look up at Michelangelo’s delightful Cupola over Bernini’s famous double Colonnade which ‘buys in’ the ‘illusion’ in St Peter’s Basilica – the largest church in the world.
