Your experience

Let yourself get seized by the magnificence of the one great museum in the world: the Vatican Museums.

Walk into the Sistine Chapel for quite an amazingly surprising and unforgettable experience.

Visit masterpieces in such celebrated places as Michelangelo’s work in the Sistine Chapel, contributions by Raphael in the Rooms, and Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci in the Pinacoteca; see the Laocoön in the Octagonal Courtyard; and explore the Geographical Maps Gallery.

Besides that, he also assigned the Etruscans and Egyptians under the patronage of Gregory XVI.

Impressed by each work, room after room provided access to sunlit court, with bushes and statuary, enclosed passageways bejeweled with mosaic, some leading to isolated chambers which told their silent story of joy or agony.

Most people will be unconscious as they walk from one courtyard to another or from one room to another of the vast storehouse that forms a magnificent city standing in its own light.

Get inside the Museum right away with your skip-the-line tickets and start listening to the stories of the people who at one time strolled these corridors – painters, pontiffs, bards, and many more.

What's the big build-up about? Seeing “The Jewel in the Crown”: the Sistine Chapel.

This heart and high bar of the Vatican is the best masterpiece to date.

View it in hush, take your time, and let yourself get swayed by the unmatched artistry.
