What to expect

Take in the highlights of the Vatican Museums, from the Sistine Chapel to lesser-known gems of the collection. Visit the Hall of Maps, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Candelabra and the incredible Raphael Rooms.

A definite highlight of your visit is the Sistine Chapel. Take some time to admire the details you have heard about, including Michelangelo’s boneless self-portrait, in which he expresses to the world that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again. As impressive as his work is, you’ll appreciate it even more up close, and after you’ve seen what it takes to create a fresco.

Redeem your voucher at the Touristation office, the staff will then accompany you into the Museums to get your official reserved ticket.

Your booking also includes a visit to Patrizi Montoro Palace, which you will be free to visit any day (except Wednesday): a historic residence, a hidden gem in Rome's heart, that has been the home of one of the ancient families of the Roman nobility since 1642. Imagine standing in the heart of Rome, Piazza San Luigi dei Francesi, captivated by its Baroque namesake church adorned with Caravaggio's masterpieces. A few steps away, the majestic Sant'Agostino basilica boasts works by Caravaggio and Raphael. But nestled right next door lies a secret waiting to be unveiled: Patrizi Montoro Palace.
