What To Expect
Vatican Museums
One of the richest and most representative museums in the world. It would take weeks or maybe months to visit it completely and exhaustively. Rich in statues, paintings, sarcophagi, mosaics collected by the Popes since the Renaissance. It was the famous Pope Julius II who began, with his private collection, what would become an enormous concentration of artworks. The Sistine chapel is the real reason why thousands of people flock to museums every year to admire Michelangelo Buonarroti's masterpieces: The Last Judgment and The Genesis. You will see Michelangelo's marble masterpiece: La Pietà. The Basilica will surprise you with its majesty and rich decorations.
The Guide will be at your complete disposal in order to fulfill your desire for more information. At the end of the tour you will meet your driver again and continue the tour as scheduled or return to the hotel.
