Continue on to the Sala degli Animali and get a virtual menagerie of beasts both real and imaginary.

Go up to the Upper Galleries and take in such places as the fascinating Gallery of Maps, showing how cartography evolved over time.

Be awed by the rooms of Raphael and his stunning frescoes, including “The School of Athens” and “The Deliverance of Saint Peter.” Take a quick breather in the Borgia Apartments before finishing your visit with a look at Michelangelo's magnificent Sistine Chapel, by far by any measure the real gem of the Vatican.
