Vatican Museums

A Day at the Vatican!

No Rome vacation is complete without a tour of the Vatican City to visit St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museum in the Vatican State. The Vatican Museums house over 7 miles of the most extensive collection of art in the world collected by the Popes over the last five centuries but the Vatican Museum treasures go back to the Pharaohs housed in the Egyptian Museum founded in 1839 to host the rich collection of statues, mummies and sculptures taken from Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. A day at the Vatican discovering the four Raphael Rooms painted with gigantic frescoes, the Laocoon sculpture in the Belvedere Octagonal courtyard and finally the Michelangelo' Sistine Chapel via the fabulous tapestries and city maps will be the highlights of your Rome trip. Skip the lines Vatican Museum tours led by our team of qualified Official Vatican Tour Guides are strictly private and can be further customized to accommodate the needs and pace of disabled travelers, families visiting Rome with children and senior visitors touring Rome.
