Overview

Absorb the highlights of the Vatican Museums, from the Sistine Chapel to lesser-known gems of the collection. Skip the ticket lines and enter the museums to visit the Hall of Maps, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Candelabra, and the incredible Raphael Rooms.

Take some time to admire the details of the Sistine Chapel, including Michelangelo's boneless self-portrait, in which he expresses to the world that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again. As incredible as his work is, you'll appreciate it even more up close and after you've seen what it takes to create a fresco. The ticket includes a Rome city audio guide with over 50 points of interest in Rome. After the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel visit, continue your experience around Rome with a self-guided tour. There is a staff on site that will give you all the information you should need.

For those who want to see the Vatican on their own and at their own pace, this is definitely for you. Travelers raved about the skip-the-line access to the museum. Once inside, they were free to tour on their own.
