Activity itinerary

Vatican Museums

  • 2h
Travellers visiting the Vatican Museums embark on a journey through one of the world’s most impressive art collections. This vast complex houses over 70,000 pieces of art across galleries, courtyards, and halls, representing thousands of years of history, culture, and religion. Highlights include the Gallery of Maps, where beautifully painted maps illustrate Italy’s regions and ancient landscapes, and the Raphael Rooms, adorned with frescoes by Raphael himself. The Pio-Clementine Museum showcases remarkable ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, such as the iconic Laocoön and His Sons. As you wander through these exquisite rooms and corridors, you’ll witness the opulence of Vatican City and the legacy of its patronage of the arts.

Sistine Chapel

  • 40m
In the Sistine Chapel, travellers are treated to one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art. Here, Michelangelo’s famous frescoes adorn the ceiling and the wall behind the altar. The ceiling features scenes from the Book of Genesis, including The Creation of Adam, where God reaches out to touch Adam's hand. Behind the altar is The Last Judgement, a powerful depiction of souls facing heaven or hell. The colours, details, and figures are extraordinary up close, capturing Michelangelo’s artistic genius and the chapel’s spiritual significance. This sacred space is not only a place of worship but also where new Popes are elected, adding to its historic and religious importance. Visitors are encouraged to reflect in silence, enhancing the awe-inspiring experience.
