Meet Our Representative Outside the Vatican Museums

Navigating the Vatican Museums can be extremely confusing, so you'll meet our friendly representative who will lead you to the correct entrance at the Vatican Museums. This is ideal for avoiding the stress of the crowds. Once inside, you are free to explore the areas in any order that you prefer on your own.

Sistine Chapel

See Michelangelo's masterpiece in all its glory. Fully completed in 1541, the ceiling in painted in stunning frescoes depicting scenes from throughout the Bible.

One of the world's most famous works of art, it is also a functioning chapel. For this reason, speaking in the chapel and photography are prohibited, but you can purchase renderings from the gift shop as keepsakes.

Please note: As the Sistine Chapel is a place of worship, everyone who enters must cover their knees and shoulders. Otherwise, you may be refused entry to this portion of your tour. A great option is to bring a shawl/scarf/sweater with you. That way, you can cover your knees and shoulders when necessary.

Vatican Museums

Over the centuries, the Vatican has developed one of Europe's most impressive collections. In addition to Michelangelo, Raphael has a strong presence of art here too. See his great works including the School of Athens, the painting that found directly on the Vatican tickets.

On the way to the Sistine Chapel, you will take in the Gallery of the Maps, Gallery of the Tapestries, and Gallery of the Candelabras. Though one can hurry through these halls on the way to the Chapel, these galleries are absolutely worth visiting in detail.
