• Stanze di Raffaello - Journey through time and artistic eras as you admire the ancient Greek and Roman statues and revel in the stunning Raphael Rooms.
• Sistine Chapel - Naturally, this exceptional Vatican tour includes entry to the magnificent Sistine Chapel. While the early morning light in the Sistine Chapel is noteworthy, the magical evening glow is even more enchanting. Rome is renowned for its “golden hour,” that brief, magical moment just before dusk when the city appears to transform into pure gold.

During this period, a scaffolding structure will cover the entire Last Judgment wall. The Sistine Chapel will remain open and fully accessible, but this specific artwork will not be visible during the restoration period.
