Itinerary
Start your Vatican tour in the heart of Vatican City. Enter the museum by following the entrance with the skip-the-line ticket sent to you. Explore the extensive 9-mile (15 km) collection of impressive rooms and galleries at your own pace. The ultimate Vatican adventure awaits!
In the heart of the Vatican's Cortile della Pigna stands a remarkable bronze sculpture: Sfera con Sfera (Sphere Within a Sphere) by Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro. This captivating artwork depicts two fractured orbs resembling intricate machine gears, symbolizing the complex and fragile nature of the modern world. Pomodoro started creating similar sculptures in the early 1960s, exploring the theme of complexity.
Pope Julius II initiated the collection of classical statues in these galleries at the start of the 16th century. However, the gallery is named after later popes, Clement XIV (1769-1774) and Pius VI (1775-1799), who established the current galleries. Many of the artworks here were confiscated by Napoleon but later returned to the Museum after his defeat.
This room is one of the most extravagant galleries in terms of decor. It features a massive mural with frescoes on both sides depicting maps of Italy. Pope Gregory XIII, also known as the calendar pope, commissioned the painting of this room so that he could accurately study the lands where he lived and the surrounding areas.
Explore the Raphael Rooms, painted by Raphael and his students between 1508 and 1524. These rooms were commissioned by Pope Julius II and used by his successors, including Leo X, the Medici Pope (1512-1521).
Most tours of the Vatican Museums conclude at the renowned Sistine Chapel, a highly sacred site where new popes are elected. Visitors are drawn to see Michelangelo’s legendary frescoes, including The Creation of Adam on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the wall.
