This tour takes you inside the Vatican Museum, one of the largest museums in the world. After visiting the main galleries and ancient sculpture collections, we will have the opportunity to spend time in the stunning rooms painted by Raphael in the early 1500s and explore the modern art collection. But the best is yet to come, as the tour concludes with a visit to the magnificent Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
