Over half a millennium old, the Vatican Museums include a vast collection of sculptures, paintings, and historical objects accumulated by popes over many centuries.

Finally, you’ll wander into St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church where the Pope himself celebrates mass. It’s one of the most important places on earth for Catholics, but religious or not, you’ll be awestruck by its unique and majestic beauty.
