Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Step into a world of beauty, history, and power inside the Vatican Museums—home to one of the most extraordinary art collections on Earth. Stretching across 54 galleries and nearly 7 kilometers of corridors, the museums invite you on a journey through time: from ancient Roman sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces.
Discover the Raphael Rooms, where color and harmony come alive in the School of Athens, and stroll through the majestic Gallery of Maps, a fresco and corridor unlike any other. Every corner reveals treasures collected by the Popes over centuries—more than 20,000 works on display, each with a story to tell.
Whether you're an art lover or a curious traveler, the Vatican Museums are a must-see experience that blends culture, faith, and genius under one roof.

Stop 2

The Sistine Chapel is more than a landmark—it's a moment of awe that stays with you forever. Known around the world for its breathtaking ceiling, this sacred space is the ultimate masterpiece of Michelangelo, who transformed it into a visual symphony of divine creation.
Gaze up at the legendary Creation of Adam, where two fingers nearly touch, bridging heaven and earth. Behind the altar, feel the intensity of The Last Judgement, a powerful fresco showing over 300 figures in dramatic motion.
But the chapel is not just about beauty—it’s also the spiritual heart of the Vatican. This is where the cardinals gather to elect a new pope during the conclave.
Visitors are asked to remain silent and respectful, allowing the atmosphere to speak for itself. A visit here isn’t just art appreciation—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with genius.
