What makes Vatican Museum Sistine Chapel & St Peter’s Basilica Guided Tour a unique experience ?
The Vatican Museums are among the most visited art museums in the world. This massive complex of 24 galleries, or rooms, includes a treasure trove of Renaissance masterpieces and other fascinating collections. It is easy to get overwhelmed by all that there is to see, so it is important to plan ahead.
Purchasing a skip the line Vatican Museum ticket in advance allows you to bypass the long lines at the entrance and waltz right into the museums with no waiting. You will still have to go through security checks and show your printed or digital voucher (along with a valid photo ID) at the entrance, but you’ll avoid the lengthy wait time that is a common sight at the museum during peak season.
The Sistine Chapel(Vatican City) is one of the world’s most spectacular attractions, attracting millions of visitors each year. It houses awe-inspiring frescoes by Michelangelo and is the site for papal conclaves, baptisms and other official ceremonies. In 1508 Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the ceiling of the chapel. He worked on the project for four years, and the result is an unforgettable work of art that is considered to be one of the greatest paintings in history.
Originally, the ceiling was painted with gold stars on a blue sky, and the work of Michelangelo transformed it into one of the most iconic images of all time.
As well as the beautiful artworks on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, there are some interesting statues and reliefs that you will find on the side of the chapel.
Peter’s Church is a must-see for its storied history and grandeur. It is located in the heart of the Vatican and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. There are many reasons to visit this architectural marvel, one of which is that it is the final resting place of the Apostle Peter. It is the holiest church in the world and contains many important relics of Christian history. A visit to St. Peter’s Church would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed.
