Take a journey through Vatican City's highlights on this three-hour guided tour. Explore the Vatican Museums and see the spectacular Sistine Chapel.

Begin this excursion into the Vatican's art and architecture at the Vatican Museums, which house the world's most important ancient art collection. From the Egyptian Museum to the Etruscan Museum, the Greek-Roman section to the Collections of Renaissance Art, there's something for everyone.

Follow your guide to the greatest galleries and see frescoes, statues, tapestries, and historical maps. Find the Borgia Apartment with rooms painted by Raphael, the Vatican Pinacoteca, the Gallery of Maps, the Courtyard of the Pine Cone, and more.

Continue to the Sistine Chapel to admire masterpieces by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, and Perugino. And, of course, you'll have the chance to see Michelangelo's most famous work, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This is an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life.
