Your experience

Get an overview of Vatican City with a no-wait tour to the Sistine Chapel and St.

Peter’s Basilica.

These are the Vatican Museums, whose cultural and artistic treasures comprise many sections of the museum.

Witness famous paintings of Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and his moving representation of the Last Judgment.

Anyway, you visit St.

Peter’s a treasure house of fine works of art headed, perhaps, by Michelangelo’s Pietà and Gian Lorenzo Bernini Baldachin.
