About This Tour
This experience allows you to enjoy some of the most famous artistic treasures in the world, the highlights of the Vatican Museums and its galleries, including Michelangelo’s frescoed masterpiece of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The early morning option allows you to visit all these sites at a time when it is not very crowded: you will enjoy the experience to its fullest! Also, after this immersive walk, you will enter St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest Basilica in the world, renowned for the inspiring Bernini interiors design and Michelangelo stunning “ Pietà “. PLEASE NOTE: During the Jubilee, if the Basilica reaches full capacity, access will unfortunately not be allowed, and this will be beyond our control. In such a case, more time will be spent inside the museums.
