Step by Step
With this ticket you will enjoy a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel early in the morning. This means that you will be able to enter the interior at a time when capacity is estimated to be only 10%. Therefore, you will avoid the large crowds and enjoy a much more pleasant and calm visit in a group of around 10 people.
In this way, you will visit the Vatican Museums which contain one of the largest art collections in the world. These include galleries of tapestries, candelabra and maps, but also numerous sculptures and sarcophagi. You will also enter the rooms of the painter Raphael, where you will find Renaissance masterpieces that worked on the faces of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
On the other hand, the Sistine Chapel is a must-see in the Vatican. On its ceiling are frescoes painted by the great Michelangelo. In them he shows biblical events such as the 'Last Judgement' or 'The Creation of Adam', both totally emblematic works in the history of humanity.
