More info
Entering the Vatican Museums, before the official opening-time, you will skip the long lines and have the chance to admire the awesome beauty of the place.
Your guide will take you inside the Vatican Museums to admire the extensive artistic heritage collected by the Popes through the centuries: from Ancient art sculptures to the breathtaking galleries of Candelabra, Tapestry end the Geographical Maps. Your will visit the Apartments of Julius II, splendidly decorated by Raphael and his assistants, and then the Sistine Chapel, where you will admire one of the highest masterpieces of art: the Genesis and the Last Judgement by Michelangelo, that, after the last restorations, have gained their original splendour.
Leaving the Sistine, the guide will conduct you to the St. Peters, the most important temple of Christianity, which gathers inside 2000 years of history and famous works of art as Michelangelos Pietà. The visit ends at St. Peter Square, destination of all Catholics coming from all over the world, embraced by the colonnade, architectonic masterpiece by Bernini, under the symbolic protection of the "Cuppolone", as the Romans call Michelangelo's dome. A unique experience!
