Vatican City Tour Itinerary (large-group guided tour, 3 hours):

Stop 1: The Vatican Museums

Reaching the Vatican Museums, the guide will give you an overview of the history and art of the smallest state in the World.  At the entrance to the Vatican Museums—and skipping right past the long entry lines—you’ll walk through cavernous galleries filled with ancient sculptures, tapestries, maps, and Etruscan antiquities. 

Stop 2: The Sistine Chapel

The most famous frescoes in the world will greet you when you enter the jewel box of the Sistine Chapel. Here, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning Michelangelo masterpieces that have adorned a million picture postcards—including the nine central panels of the chapel ceiling, each depicting a tale from Genesis (the most famous being The Creation of Adam).

Stop 3: St. Peter’s Basilica (self guided)

This grand cathedral—one of the world’s largest churches, and one of its most sacred Catholic sites—sits atop the very spot where St. Peter was buried. On this self-guided part of the tour, you’ll see the church’s chapels and elaborately painted, multi-domed ceiling; also, Michelangelo’s remarkable Pietà—a sculptural depiction of the Virgin Mary cradling her dying son. IMPORTANT: The Basilica is closed on Wednesdays for the Papal Audience.

Please note that this tour is not available on Sundays. Extra closures can occur in case of religious festivities or special religious functions, please check availability before.
