You’ll likely visit major works including Raphael’s ‘Transfiguration’ and the ‘Laocoön’ Sculpture. The whole time, however, you’ll be holding your breath for the tour’s highlight, Michelangelo’s iconic painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Stretch your neck beforehand and gaze up at this world-famous masterpiece while learning about the symbolism and Biblical stories depicted by the master artist.

You’ll also step into St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church where the Pope himself celebrates mass. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate the grandeur of this landmark, but it helps.
