Let us take you on a journey through time visiting the most important sights in the smallest country of the world, Vatican City! You will have an enriching experience showing you some of the worlds amazing, breath-taking art work, statues. We will show you the Pio-Clementine Museums that includes the world most famous statues, Laocoon group and the Belvedere torso. We will see the Gallery of the Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps painted in the 16th century.
After scrolling through the art collection we will enter the former Papal apartments known as Raphael rooms, and the Borgia apartments. We will end in the breath-taking Sistine Chapel named after Pope Sixtus IV. You will spend a little time here, to be able to take in the beautiful frescoes made by Michelangelo Buonarotti, who spent years here to be able to finish the ceiling and the Last Judgment.
