Itinerary

Where is the Sistine Chapel in Rome? Get Vatican tickets and you'll see! It's one of the many countless masterpieces in the Vatican Museums, that you will admire with an expert guide, before visiting the centre of the Catholic church itself - St. Peter's.
Incredibly, there's a whole COUNTRY inside Rome! Get to know it over breakfast with early entrance tickets to the Vatican Museums, which hold some of the Catholic world's most important religious art.
TAKE A VATICAN TOUR WITH SKIP THE LINE TICKETS
Take a trip into the capital of the Catholic world and discover the history, mystery and artistic masterpieces of the world's smallest country set in the centre of Rome. These skip the line tickets will lead you behind the doors of Catholicism with a rare chance to discover the museums without any other guests around. You'll be led by an expert guide in art and religion who will lift the lid on the mesmerising history and masterpieces held inside the museums.
The plus of our Vatican tour is the chance to choose between several departure times available, starting from exclusive early entrance tickets to the tour of Vatican by night.
EARLY ENTRANCE: be the first to access the Vatican Museums by choosing the departure at 7:45 am. 
VATICAN BY NIGHT: visit the Vatican Museums in a special atmosphere ona 2 hours tour, at 6:45 pm on Fridays and Saturdays from April to October! (Please note that this option does not include the visit of St. Peter's Basilica)
SEE THE SISTINE CHAPEL ROME AND A HOST OF COUNTLESS MASTERPIECES
The Sistine Chapel has the most famous ceiling in the world, and you'll get to go in and immerse yourself in Michelangelo's seemingly never-ending fresco. See his life-like figures of Adam, God and the saints and try to spot the artist's self-portrait on the torso of St. Peter! Not only that, you'll visit the Vatican's fascinating gallery of maps, the gallery of tapestries and many other masterpieces the Museums boast, all while learning about the artists who embellished the tiny city state, by our expert professional guides.
BE AWESTRUCK BY THE ART AND GRANDEUR OF ST. PETER'S BASILICA

Pope John Paul II called the Sistine Chapel the “Holy Spirit's place of action” but its beauty pales in comparison to the centre of the Catholic church itself - St Peter's Basilica. There, you can admire the incredible mosaics in all of their glory, such as Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldachin. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and drink in a visit to remember this truly special experience.
