The Vatican Museums are a must-see destination for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to experience the cultural heart of one of the world’s smallest but most powerful states. Located in Vatican City, the Museums are home to an extraordinary collection of art, antiquities, and historical artifacts gathered by the Popes over centuries. Established in the early 16th century by Pope Julius II, the Vatican Museums encompass a vast network of galleries, including some of the most famous in the world, such as the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, and the Gallery of Maps. The collection spans over 3,000 years, showcasing works from the ancient world through the Renaissance and beyond, with pieces by Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and many other legendary artists. A visit to the Vatican Museums offers more than just a chance to see masterpieces – it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Western civilization, the Catholic Church, and the development of art itself. Whether you are exploring the sculptures of the Pio Clementino Museum, the intricate tapestries in the Gallery of Tapestries, or the awe-inspiring frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museums promise to leave you with a deeper appreciation of human creativity and devotion. With our package, you’ll not only have the opportunity to visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, but also explore so much more!

The experience is a scam and the entrance to the vatican museum has no value for me, while the basilica of Saint Peter and the Piazza’s entrance was free and where the most mesmerizing views and monuments are located.
Le français des guide
Billet coupe file qui nous a permis de passer la longue file d'attente. On nous dirige vers un point pour récupérer nos entrées. Une hôtesse parlant un peu français nous propose de prendre la visite guidée en Français avec une réduction (sur site la visite guidée n'était plus disponible). On nous donne donc rendez-vous 30 min après. Nous avons eu une guide super qui a pris soin de nous pendant 3 heures
It was chaotic at the reception when we went to pick up our tickets, and there was no clear queue system. Once we had the tickets, we got through the entrance to the Vatican very smoothly and quickly. However, nothing else was included in this expensive price (which we knew, we only booked through this organizer because tickets at the normal price were sold out on the Vatican's official website), which in hindsight was definitely not worth it, but if you're in a pinch and really want to visit the Vatican Museum at an inflated price, this is an option.
