About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy
After the pick-up, the driver will take you to the Vatican Museums where you will meet your guide. Equipped with one of the most beautiful art collections on the planet, they are rich invaluable works of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Etruscan antiquity. They house a valuable collection of paintings ranging from the twelfth to the nineteenth century, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci.
The Museums also include some beautifully frescoed rooms such as: Raphael's Rooms, four rooms used by Pope Julius II as his residence decorated by Raphael; the art gallery containing paintings by Giotto, Leonardo, Caravaggio and Bellini, sculptures of classical art and masterpieces by Bernini, tapestries and mosaics; the famous Sistine Chapel, (named after its founder, Pope Sixtus IV) that the extraordinary genius of Michelangelo has made it one of the most celebrated artistic treasures in the world, visited every day by 20,000 visitors. The frescoes of the Creation and the Last Judgement (on the wall of the altar) are considered among the greatest and most intense masterpieces of art history. In the face of such beauty, how can we not agree?!
You will continue towards St. Peter's Basilica, built in the sixteenth century, entering through a hidden door from which only participants in organized tours can access. You can admire the "Pieta" by Michelangelo and then move on to other works, such as the famous canopy by Bernini. The largest Christian Basilica in the world leaves everyone who visits it fascinated. At the end of the tour, thanks to the genius of Bernini, the colonnade of St. Peter's Square offers a magnificent glance: positioning, in fact, on the disks of porphyry in the square you can see all the columns perfectly aligned one behind the other as if, by magic, they had moved.
At the end of the tour, you'll enjoy a complimentary drop-off by one of our drivers in your desired location within the city centre.
NOTE: On Wednesday morning, due to the Papal audience, the Basilica might be closed. In this case, the explanation of it will be done from outside.
Duration: 3 hours
