The experience
VIP treatment at the Vatican Museums - it's no longer only for the Pope! Join your escort near the museums, and you'll be assisted through security.
Once inside, explore this mind-blowing collection of Renaissance art and its crowning glory, the Sistine Chapel, in your own time.
See Michelangelo's handiwork. Along the way, take in Raphael's School of Athens, the Hall of Tapestries, the Map Room, and so much more.
The ticket also includes a visit to the Pantheon – a sanctuary dedicated to a multitude of ancient gods – that you can explore at your own pace.
Explore the stories and history of the Pantheon, including its famous Oculus, where sunlight brightens the impressive inner sanctum, and visit notable tombs.
