Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & Raphael's Rooms

Join a guided tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and Raphael's Rooms with skip-the-line access to make your visit to Rome even better.

If you want a more personal experience, you can upgrade your tour so that there are no more than 10 people in your group.

Start your tour by meeting your guide close to the Vatican Museums.

You will walk in with skip-the-line entry.

A headset will be provided to help you hear the commentary as you explore.

As you walk through the museums, let your guide explain why the various works of art are important.

Then, take a break to breathe the fresh air in Pinecone Courtyard and Belvedere Courtyard.

Admire the Room of the Muses, Round Room, Greek Cross Room, Candelabra Gallery, Gallery of Tapestries, and Gallery of Maps with a sweeping view of Vatican Gardens below you.

Finish your visit with Raphael's Rooms done by the master around the same time Michelangelo was painting the ceiling in Sistine Chapel.

Take time to look at that ceiling in Sistine Chapel itself.

Leave this tour knowing much more than when you entered.

• Please note: Because of the death of Pope Francis I, from April 28 onward until conclave finishing Sistine Chapel will be closed.

Tours will go on but do not have Sistine Chapel during this period.
