Your experience

Take advantage of entry to the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St.

Peter's Basilica all in one pleasant experience.

Begin your journey at Piazza Risorgimento where a member of the Touristation staff will personally accompany you up to the entrance of St.

Peter’s Basilica with useful information, tips, and assistance so that later you can fully explore everything at your own leisurely pace.

Entrance into the Basilica is free since it still functions as a house of worship.

Kindly take note that all visitors have to go through security checks and waiting time may vary depending on season or time when religious events or special ceremonies are happening.

Inside the Basilica, there are beautiful works of art to see Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's Baldachin, and the lovely dome that looks grandly over the city of Rome.

Next, you can visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel where amazing collections of art and history are kept.

Walk through the Gallery of Maps as well as Tapestry Hall then marvel at stunning frescoes by Michelangelo on top of Sistine Chapel — a symbolic representation for Renaissance artistry.

Begin a smooth and rich look at Vatican City, finding its long past, fine beauty, and great art.
