There is no better time to discover the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms and the other masterpieces of the Vatican Museums than the evening hours around sunset. Only rarely are the Vatican Museums open at this unusual hour, when the magic light of evening twinkles off countless masterpieces as your expert guide brings them vividly to life.
The crowds are usually much smaller, meaning you won’t have to fight for the best views. The highlight of our tour is of course the Sistine Chapel, the pope’s private chapel spectacularly decorated by Michelangelo’s frescoes – they look at their mind-blowing best at this hour, and you’ll be able to fully appreciate the great artist’s achievement in the blissful cool of evening with the help of the knowledge of Through Eternity’s expert and friendly guide. So experience another side of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel by booking a place on our special Vatican Night tour, available every Friday during the Summer months!
