Get in Before the Crowds

After your guide leads you through the museums to the Sistine Chapel you will have the opportunity to take in Michelangelo's fabulous frescoes in an atmosphere of peace and quiet. There is no better way to experience what some consider to be the apex of western Civilisation art from the Renaissance period. While the paintings and frescoes are instantly recognizable, viewing them in their original state is an experience that can be charged with emotion and awe.

Once you leave the Sistine Chapel you will have plenty of time to visit the Museums at your pace. Armed with a map of the museums, a summary of the highlights and your full-day ticket you will be fully prepared to explore the likes of the Pinacoteca Gallery with its Da Vinci and the Octagonal Courtyard with its statues of Laocoon.
So, make the most of your visit to the Sistine Chapel by availing of our reserved entrance and access to the Museums.
