Description
Crossing the Aurelian Walls and the Park of Villa Borghese, we reach the Vatican Museums. During the visit you will admire: the Candelabra Gallery, the beautiful Tapestry Gallery and the interesting cartographic study in the Maps Gallery, the Raphael Rooms, entirely frescoed by the Master, and above all, the Sistine Chapel, where Popes are elected, with the "Genesis" and "Last Judgement" by Michelangelo, recently restored. Return to hotels or nearest point.
During some high travel periods (summer and religious holidays) it will be possible to find lengthy queues at the entrance of the museum.
