Description

Without the usual bustle of daily crowds, explore the Eternal city. Take advantage of this exceptional, evening-access tour, where you’ll have a knowledgeable guide accompany you on a private, after-hours visit to the renowned galleries of the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel.

It is safe to suppose that since the Vatican is a very well-liked tourist destination, it is frequently crowded all year long. Tickets for the Vatican Night tour are limited, granting the after-hours tourists greater space. Spend some time seeing some lesser-known gems of the Vatican Museums, including the magnificent Raphael Rooms, the Hall of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Candelabra.

And admire the details of the Sistine Chapel that you may 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.
