Vatican Museums
With your reserved ticket and entry assistance, you'll bypass the notoriously long general admission line for quicker access to the museums. Your self-guided exploration begins here, spanning the seven kilometers of art-filled halls and galleries that make up the vast Vatican Museums complex.
Pinecone Courtyard
Next, you'll naturally arrive at the beautiful Pinecone Courtyard (Cortile della Pigna). This is a great place to pause and take in the atmosphere, admire the ancient statues, and enjoy the beautifully manicured gardens before diving into the main galleries.
Pio-Clementino Museum
Then, wander through the most important of the museum’s twelve rooms, starting with the Pio-Clementino Museum. You’ll be able to admire stunning ancient Roman busts, intricate mosaics, and the famous bronze statue of Hercules in his gilded form.
Gallery of the Maps
After that, step into the astonishing 120-meter (400 ft) Gallery of the Maps. This iconic gallery features enormous 16th-century cartography that intricately details the geography of Italy. Take your time to appreciate this incredible feat of Renaissance-era mapping.
