Your guide will accompany you on a four hour tour to see the best of the Vatican Museums: the museums encompass over one thousand rooms and galleries that hold treasures from every era, gathered by yesteryears’ popes. From paintings by Raffaello and Leonardo da Vinci, to Greek and Roman statues, to Etruscan pottery, to Renaissance tapestries, and ancient manuscripts. Promise yourselves that one day you will visit its entirety: it’s the perfect excuse to keep coming back to Rome.
But don’t forget to keep aside a large dose of fascination for each trip. You will visit Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel and discover the masterpieces housed in the Basilica of Saint Peter, the biggest church in the world. Among the many artifacts and mosaics on display you will see the “Piety” of Michelangelo and the beautifully sculpted Bernini altar.
At the end of this tour, you will be completely at ease using the Italian word “magnifico”.
