What makes Fast-Access Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel tour by Tommaso a unique experience ?
Use the fast access passageway, and ready to explore the wonderful collections of the Vatican Museums.
Stroll through the Gallery of the Maps and Gallery of Tapestries as you tune in to stories of Vatican interest. Look at curios, for example, timeworn yet captivating Italian maps, the figures and candelabras of the Gallery of Candelabras. Stop for photographs before the Pigna statue in the Pinecone Courtyard, composed by Donato Bramante. Raphael’s Rooms are a progression of displays that feature the ability of the commended Renaissance craftsman himself.
Go through the rooms, and after that progression inside the Sistine Chapel — the pope’s close to home place of love and a feature of any Vatican trip. Remain underneath Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, which shrouds the roof, and respect The Last Judgment, his vivid painting that embellishes a divider.
Look at the Baldacchino by Bernini, and after that say farewell to your guide in St Peter’s Square, where you can see the Pope’s Palace and the colorful Swiss Guards.
After your Sistine Chapel visit, keep on St Peter’s Basilica, the representative heart of the Catholic church. Find out about its history and see more Vatican craftsmanship including Michelangelo’s La Pietà, which was etched when the maestro was just 24 years of age.
