Overview

Start your journey by meeting your host, who will provide a headset for the Vatican area audio tour. Stroll past St Peter’s Square and hear the history behind St Peter’s Basilica, the Conclave and more.

Your host will escort you to the Vatican Museums security line, where you’ll continue to listen along to the audio guide and hear about the papacy while you wait in queue – with growing excitement!

Step inside the Vatican Museums with the mobile app leading your visit. From the convenience of your smartphone, listen to insightful commentary as you admire artwork from Leonardo da Vinci, take snaps of the Raphael Rooms and see the iconic Gallery of Maps.

Gaze up at the Sistine Chapel, masterfully adorned with frescos by Michelangelo, and see the world-famous Creation of Adam and the Last Judgement with your own eyes.
