Stop At: Sistine Chapel, Viale Vaticano, 00165 Vatican City Italy
At the end of your tour, you’ll enter the Sistine Chapel to admire the most beautiful frescoes of the world, painted by Michelangelo himself. You will also fall in love with the frescoes Botticelli, Perugino and other Renaissance painters produced in the Sistine Chapel 30 years before Michelangelo started working in it.
St.Peter’s Basilica and Square will be included or not in the tour according to last minutes events (such as Holy Year’s celebrations and special Pope’s Masses). It means that once your guide knows if the Basilica will be open or not, he/she will handle the tour timing to give you time in the Basilica. Otherwise, more time will be spent in the Vatican galleries to cover the three hours.
