Next, enter the Raphael Rooms and immerse yourself in the Renaissance era of extraordinary art and literature. View the rooms frescoed by Raphael and admire his most famous work, The School of Athens, as the guide shares insights into the artist’s life and influences.

• Sistine Chapel - Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel
  One of the most iconic experiences in Vatican City is visiting the Sistine Chapel, and once inside, you’ll understand why. It’s no surprise that this masterpiece is celebrated as one of the greatest works of art in Western civilization. Since the chapel is a sacred place of worship, speaking is not permitted inside, and the guide won’t be able to provide commentary while you’re there. But rest assured, they’ll offer commentary before entering, ensuring you’re fully prepared to appreciate all the wonders of the Sistine Chapel.

To enter the Sistine Chapel, both men and women must ensure their knees and shoulders are covered. Failure to comply may result in the Vatican denying entry to religious sites. We understand that the Roman summers can be hot, so a great alternative is to bring a shawl, scarf, or sweater with you. Prepare to be captivated by the sheer grandeur of the Sistine Chapel!
