Description

Avoid waiting in line – which can take up to 4-hours at times – thanks to your fast-track ticket, and make the most of the recorded audio-guide commentary to learn all about the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

Take your time to explore the fascinating works of art that are housed in the Vatican Museums, one of the world’s biggest and most beautiful museums, at your own pace.

An audio guide available in 9 languages allows you to learn more about the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps and the Borgia Apartments: all unique spaces of invaluable artistic and historical interest.

Contemplate numerous masterpieces that date back to Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, as well as paintings by the most renowned artists of the Italian Renaissance.

And of course there’s also the famous Sistine Chapel with its spectacular ceiling painted by Michelangelo.

Make the most of your time in the Vatican Museums with your skip-the-line entry tickets!
