Vatican Museum Night Tour

Informazioni generali

Destinazione
Roma, Italia

Il programma nel dettaglio

Every year the Vatican Museums open their doors for extended hours during a limited period; this tour makes use of that extension, bringing you inside the Museums and the Sistine Chapel when they’re much more quiet an atmospheric than during the day. Experience the beautiful galleries and show-stopping art without the crushing crowds, and in a small group of maximum 15 people.



Experience the Vatican like almost no one else gets to—at night! This is the time when the Vatican palaces are at their most peaceful, tranquil, and lovely and quieter than regular visiting hours.



We start at the Vatican Museums, part of the Papal Palaces. In echoing, elaborate halls and galleries, your Vatican expert will bring the Church’s fascinating history to life—from St. Peter’s martyrdom to the modern Vatican City. Since your group is a maximum of just 15 people, you’ll have plenty of time to get all of your questions answered.



You’ll also explore some of the finest ancient sculptures and Renaissance art in the world, including Raphael’s School of Athens, the Hellenistic Laocoön, and the beautiful Apollo Belvedere.



The pièce-de-resistance of your experience, of course, is the Sistine Chapel, the private chapel of the Pope. In the evening light—and without the tourist hordes—get a sense of the kind of intimate atmosphere the Pope himself would have enjoyed here. As you admire Michelangelo’s famous frescoes, your Vatican expert reveals their stories, secrets and what makes them so special.
