Description
Our host will welcome you and escort you into the museums, then you’re free to move through the galleries with no guide or fixed schedule. Wander through the classical sculptures like the dramatic masterpiece Laocoön and His Sons in the octagonal courtyard that influenced generations of artists, and the Gallery of the Candelabra, a bright corridor lined with ancient Roman statues and elegant chandeliers.
Walking through the Gallery of Maps, a long corridor covered with detailed frescoes of Italy’s regions, you will reach the Raphael Rooms, known for their vivid colors and impressive frescoes created by Raphael and his students. You’re free to pause in front of each scene and notice the smaller details that make these rooms so famous.
Your visit leads you to the Sistine Chapel, the most iconic space in the Vatican Museums and one of the most recognized artistic sites in the world. You can stay as long as you wish, taking in Michelangelo’s frescoes and the quiet atmosphere.
With this timed-entry ticket, you decide how your visit unfolds and have a calm experience inside the second largest museum in the world.
