Description

Enter the Vatican Museums with priority access through Habemus Tours, an authorized agency and official partner of the Vatican Museums with over 15 years of experience. A qualified host will assist you at the entrance, ensuring a smooth and stress-free start to your visit.

Your tour begins in the Armor Courtyard with views of the Vatican Gardens, then continues to the Pinecone Courtyard at the center of the ancient papal buildings. You will pass through several rooms of the Belvedere Palace, which was the former Pope’s summer residence and now houses the Pio-Clementine Museum. Here you can see notable Greco-Roman art, including the Apollo Belvedere and the Laocoön Group.

Next, explore three prominent galleries leading to the papal apartments: the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of the Tapestries featuring works from the Flemish atelier of Peter Van Aelst, and the Gallery of the Maps containing frescoed maps of Italy commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII.

The tour concludes with visits to the Raphael Rooms, located in the apartment of Pope Julius II, and the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces such as the scenes from the Book of Genesis and the Last Judgment.
