Take a 3-hour tour of the Vatican Museum, one of the most desirable museums in the world, and hop into the world of art. Revisit the history of Vatican City with the help of a licensed tour guide and get a walk through the fascinating stories and events of the past.

Flocks of people are seen visiting the attraction every year to see the incredible works of art by Leonardo Da Vinci, Rafael, Titian, Caravaggio, Giorgio Vasari, and many others. Witness some of the world-famous masterpieces present at the Pinacoteca Art Gallery. You will be awestruck while walking through the Gallery of Tapestries, and Gallery of Maps, and when you explore the painting in the Raphael room.

Take a stroll through the hall and spot paintings, statues, geographic maps that give an insight into the world during that era. Complete your trip by heading to the Sistine Chapel, the ultimate pearl of the Vatican. You will drop a jaw when you see the interiors of the Chapel and the frescos decorated by Michelangelo.

Experience all this without any hassle by skipping the line to the museum by enjoying the priority access.
