Vatican City Tour

The Vatican museums are home to some of the most awe-inspiring examples of Western Classical art. Let our experienced guide take you through the treasures of Vatican, the famous Sistine Chapel, and the undisputed beauty of St. Peter’s Basilica.

Inspired by the Pantheon, the Round Room is a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture, designed with light in mind. The sunlight streaming through the oculus dances across 3^rd century mosaic floors, taken from the Otricoli baths in Umbria, highlights the bronze statue of Hercules, and darts into recesses to highlight ancient statuary. Follow the light to the Belvedere Courtyard; surrounded by the Vatican museums, it’s a lovely proof that architecture is as much a work of art as the masterpieces the buildings house.
