Sistine Chapel

The next part of the tour is an excellence not to be missed for any reason: the Sistine Chapel, with its incredible ceiling frescoed by Michelangelo and his supreme masterpiece, the Last Judgement. Many other scenes were painted by the best Italian artists of the time such as Perugino, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and other masters of the time. It will be surprisingly exciting to be at the centre of such beauty.

Saint Peter’s Cathedral

Admiring numerous paintings and sculptures, you will notice how this Basilica is perfectly conceived. The colossal structure is so proportionate that it hides its real dimensions. The tour of the Vatican Museums will leave you with the embrace of the immense curved colonnades of the square and the view of the Pope’s Balcony.
