Descripción

Discover the Vatican on a guided tour and avoid all the queues with your skip-the-line tickets!

Once inside, you'll first head to the balcony of the Vatican Gardens, from where you can see the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, before following your guide among the ancient statues and modern sculptures of the Courtyard of the Pinecone (named after the pinecone-shaped sculpture).

On your way to the Sistine Chapel, your guide will lead you through the Hall of Maps, the Tapestry Gallery and the Candelabra Gallery. These works of art will come to life as you follow your guide's commentary through your audio headset.

As it's forbidden to speak in the Sistine Chapel, your guide will give you all the information you need beforehand about this mythical hall of the papal palaces, where the cardinals meet in conclave to elect the new pope, so you don't miss a single detail. Once inside, you'll take time to observe the rich details of the walls and famous vault, from the Last Judgment above the altar to shields depicting biblical scenes.

Over the course of two and a half hours, you'll admire the Vatican's artistic treasures and discover how popes have used art and culture to spread their message. You'll leave having not only appreciated the Vatican, but understood it too.
