Your experience

The Vatican Museums, with about 70,000 works of art, are impossible to conquer in one day—12 years is how long it would take to see each piece for just one minute.

Therefore, joining a tour enriches your experience.

Prepare yourself to be amazed by the great works of Raphael, Bernini, da Vinci, and above all Michelangelo (including the Sistine Chapel and Last Judgment).

Further awe will be experienced seeing the splendid St.

Peter's Basilica- Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's magnificent bronze altar will be seen here too, via a special entrance.
