Recommended Vatican Tour

Inside the Vatican Museums, you can admire the best paintings, sculptures and works of art collected by the Popes throughout the centuries. In the Apostolic Palace, you’ll be amazed by the Sistine Chapel, originally called the Cappella Magna, which was restored between 1477 and 1480 and takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV. Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the view of The Last Judgment by Michelangelo, which adorns the ceiling.

The visit ends in St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the largest churches in the world, which was designed principally by Bramante, Michelangelo, Maderno and Bernini.

The Vatican is one of the most interesting and fascinating cultural sites in the world. We strongly recommend joining a walking tour with a professional guide, who will take you to some of its major attractions and give you information about its architecture, history and politics.
