Morning at Vatican Museums & Gardens

This morning, you will meet your professional guide in the Vatican area to join a small Vatican Museum guided tour. Priority access is guaranteed into the Vatican Gardens, Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica with your Vatican Museum skip the line ticket. Discover the lavishly landscaped Gardens before entering the grand Basilica. Observe the formal Italian-style garden flaunting Renaissance elements, French garden with its classic baroque features and statues and the geometric English garden with caves, streams, pagodas and temples. Then contain the tour to the brilliant example of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world, the Basilica itself. The expansive Peter's Square, designed by Italian architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini, sets the tone for what lies ahead. You will stop by the beautiful Bramante Staircase, which is a work of art in itself before continuing to the various Galleries filled with brilliant collection of artworks. Spend time in absorbing the creative genius of Michael Angelo at the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes. One of the greatest treasures of Rome, the Sistine Chapel is known as much for its fine artistry in paintings and sculpture, as well as for being the temple where which popes are crowned. You can reserve the Vatican Museum tickets online in advance for this Rome morning tour.
