Overview

Discover the Vatican Museums on this guided tour with skip-the-line guaranteed. Visit St. Peter's Basilica and marvel at the works of Michelangelo and Bernini.

Begin your tour at the Vatican Museums, with their immense collection built by the Popes throughout the centuries and discover one of the world's most remarkable art collections.

See the Pio Clementino Hall, the Laocoon and Apollo Belvedere. Marvel at works by ancient cartographers in the Gallery of Maps and wander the Candelabra Gallery and the Gallery of Tapestries to see Flemish works by pupils of Raphael. Go inside the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo's legendary frescoes.

From the Museum, exit directly into St. Peter's Basilica, the most important Christian church in the world, where you will admire Michelangelo's masterpiece the Pietà and the impressive Baldachin Altar by Bernini.

The tour ends in St. Peter's Square, dominated by Michelangelo's imposing Cupola and surrounded by the famous Bernini's double Colonnade.
