Itinerary

Step inside the vast Vatican Museums, home to masterpieces from ancient sculptures to Renaissance paintings. Discover the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, and other highlights as your guide brings each artwork to life with captivating stories and historical insights.

Catch a glimpse of Arnaldo Pomodoro’s striking bronze sculpture in the Pine Cone Courtyard. The “Sphere within a Sphere” symbolizes the tension between the outer world and inner knowledge, a thought-provoking stop for reflection.

Admire the monumental bronze pine cone dating back to ancient Rome, surrounded by elegant Renaissance architecture and lush greenery. This peaceful courtyard offers a perfect photo spot and a moment to soak in the Vatican’s beauty.

Marvel at Raphael’s frescoes, including the iconic School of Athens and The Battle of the Milvian Bridge. These four rooms are considered some of the greatest achievements of Renaissance art.

Stand beneath Michelangelo’s breathtaking ceiling and altar frescoes, including The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Remember: silence is required, and knees and shoulders must be covered.

Enter directly from the Museums and avoid the long lines outside. Inside, encounter Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s majestic baldachin, and the grandeur of one of the largest churches in the world. The basilica’s immense beauty and spiritual atmosphere will leave a lasting impression.
