Embark on a journey through Rome's iconic landmarks. Begin your exploration at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, where you'll be transported to a world of art and history. Marvel at the breathtaking and vibrant frescoes on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, painted by the legendary Michelangelo. From the angelic figures to the dramatic scenes of the Last Judgment, these masterpieces are sure to leave you in awe.
Next, step into the opulent Patrizi Montoro Palace, a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into Rome's aristocratic past.
