Enjoy the Vatican under a new light when you enter the Museums after the official closing time. For short periods, the Vatican Museums open their doors after hours, allowing curious travelers to explore the halls of the Vatican State without the overwhelming daytime heat. Your tour begins with an immediate access to the Museums, thanks to our exclusive Skip the Line entrance. We know how frustrating it can be standing in line to get a pair of tickets, but no need to worry, we thought of that ahead of time! Our itinerary of the Vatican Museums is very comprehensive: you’ll see outside areas such as the Pinecone courtyards, alternated to amazing galleries, such as the Gallery of Tapestries, where you’ll see a one in a kind needlework, and the Gallery of Maps, where you’ll be stunned once you’ll see what was the understanding of our planet in the past. Follow your guide while they delight you with stories and anecdotes of the past Popes, the mysteries and secrets of the Vatican Walls, as well as the legends that run deep in the Vatican halls. Our route will take you past Raphael’s Rooms, where you’ll have the opportunity to admire the artist’s most famous masterpieces and learn about his relationship with the Holy See.
Once you’ve seen the variety of the Vatican collection, you’ll reach the superstar of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel. Painted by many artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo, the Sistine Chapel is one of the main attractions for tourists visiting the Eternal City. Raise your head and get lost analyzing the detailed frescoes that decorate the ceiling, depicting episodes from the Old Testament, such as the Creation of Adam, and the Banishment from Eden. Don’t forget to take a look at Michelangelo’s Last Judgment; a mammoth fresco painted over the Altar Wall of the Chapel. Book now and explore the Vatican Museums under a new light!
