Your experience

With nearly 70,000 pieces of art in the Vatican Museums, it's impossible to see everything in one day.

If you spent just one minute looking at each piece, it would take 12 years to finish viewing the whole collection.

This is exactly why our visit of about 2.5 to 3 hours should be used optimally by you.

Be ready to be inspired by masterpieces created by great artists: Raphael, Bernini, da Vinci, and most importantly Michelangelo who created the Sistine Chapel and Last Judgement just to name a few works.

Then brace yourself for the splendor that is St.

Peter's Basilica where you will get special access to see Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's magnificent bronze altar.
