Sixtinska kapellet med Peterskyrkan och kupolklättring
Beskrivning
De flesta Vatikanens turer fokuserar enbart på museerna och Sixtinska kapellet, men denna upplevelse börjar med en av Roms mest givande utsiktsplatser: toppen av Peterskyrkans kupol. Gå in i Peterskyrkan direkt, klättra sedan ovanför Vatikanstaten för vidsträckt utsikt över Petersplatsen och Roms takåsar. Gå sedan tillbaka till marknivå för att se Pietà di Michelangelo inne i Peterskyrkan. Turen fortsätter med tidsbestämda inträdesbiljetter till Vatikanmuseerna, där din Guide leder dig genom höjdpunkter som Pio-Clementino Museum, Gallery of Maps och Raphael Rooms. Upplevelsen slutar i Sixtinska kapellet, där Michelangelos tak och Yttersta domen för turen till ett kraftfullt avslut. Denna tur är idealisk för resenärer som vill uppleva kupolklättring, basilikan, Vatikanmuseerna och Sixtinska kapellet på en väl tempofylld rutt med en Expert Guide.

Möt din Guide på Largo Del Colonnato, strax utanför Petersplatsens kolonnader. Gå sedan genom Petersplatsen, Vatikanstatens stora huvudtorg ritat av Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Din Guide introducerar torgets kolonner, helgonstatyer och den roll detta utrymme spelar i stora påvliga samlingar, på väg in till basilikan.
Gå in i Peterskyrkan för att klättra mot en av de högsta utsiktsplatserna i Vatikanstaten. Ta hissen till den nedre terrassen och fortsätt sedan uppför de sista 320 stenstegen för panoramautsikt över Petersplatsen, Vatikanstaten och Rom.
Återvänd till marknivå för din Guides förklaring av Peterskyrkan, världens största kyrka. Lär dig om Michelangelos Pietà, Berninis Baldacchino och omfattningen av detta heliga landmärke.
Använd sedan tidsbestämda entrébiljetter för att komma in i Vatikanmuseerna för ett guidat besök genom en av världens viktigaste konst Samlingar. Din rutt inkluderar stora gallerier och innergårdar fyllda med antik skulptur, renässanskonst och påvliga skatter. I Pio-Clementino-museet, där några av världens mest berömda skulpturer finns, ser du Laocoön och hans söner, Belvedere Torso och den magnifika sarkofagen av Sankt Helena, mor till Konstantin. Följ din Guide genom Kandelabergalleriet, Galleriet för gobelänger och Galleriet för kartor, förundras över de antika grekiska och romerska statyer, flamländska gobelänger och detaljerade kartor över Italien. Gå sedan in i Rafael-rummen och fördjupa dig i renässansens era av fantastisk konst och litteratur. Se rummen freskmålade av Rafael och beundra hans mest berömda verk, Atens skola, medan din Guide delar insikter i konstnärens liv och influenser.
Slutligen, upplev storheten i Michelangelos mest hyllade mästerverk i det världsberömda Sixtinska kapellet. Med över 600 figurer är freskerna som skildrar bibliska berättelser från Första Moseboken till Uppenbarelseboken imponerande och verkligen en syn att skåda. Från den ikoniska skapelsen av människan till den kraftfulla Yttersta domen, är varje tum av kapellets tak och väggar täckt av fängslande bilder. Den perfekta avslutningen på en väl avrundad dag i Vatikanstaten.

Our tour was fabulous mostly due to the amazing tour guide we had. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and great at dealing with the crowd. We went in July and it was very hot and the crowds were thick, would recommend trying to visit this at a less busy time of year or definitely do it in the morning if you are here during peak season. The crowds were loud and made it hard to have an intimate experience in the Sistine Chapel.
Rafa was an amazing tour guide and so knowledgeable about everything.
Raffa was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and kind
Raffa was an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide.
Thank you! Raffa is fantastic at blending deep knowledge with great entertainment at the Vatican. We look forward to your next tour with us!
Marco was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely go on this tour if you have the opportunity. It’s 100% completely worth it.!!
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that Marco's extensive knowledge made climbing the Dome and seeing the Sistine Chapel completely worth it. We hope to welcome you on another incredible tour soon!
Valentina was an amazing guide! She's so knowledgeable about history, and it made the tour so much better. This was my friend's first time in Italy, and I haven't been here since I was in college, so I don't remember a lot of the historical facts. Remember to bring an electric fan; it's so hot and stuffy in a lot of these parts of the Vatican, it's always crowded, and we can'twear tank tops or shorts. I kind of wish that we had brought wet wipes to clean ourselves up after the tower climb, too (at least we brought deodorant). The tower climb is grueling, but view is phenomenal from up there! Save your energy and take the elevator up to the terrace. I know the tour is 5 hours and starts at 7am on your vacation, but there's absolutely no doubt that this tour is worth it!
Hi Paige, Thank you for the fantastic review! Valentina is absolutely amazing, and we're so glad her historical insights helped bring everything back to life for you and introduced your friend to Italy in the best way possible. You also gave some incredible, practical advice here! It definitely gets hot and crowded inside the Vatican, and keeping shoulders and knees covered is a must, so bringing a portable fan is a pro tip. That dome climb is no joke either, but as you said, that phenomenal view from the top makes every single step worth it (and taking the elevator to the terrace is definitely the way to save some leg power!). We know that 7:00 AM alarm clock on vacation is tough, but we're thrilled that the five hours flew by and felt worth every penny. Thanks for conquering the climb with us!
I was so looking forward to seeing the Sistine Chapel. But we stood in line for 2.5 hours waiting to take a lift to the dome. I kept asking out guide if we could just take the stairs, but he insisted we wait for the lift. After waiting for 2.5 hours, we ended up taking the stairs anyway. By the time we got to the museum, I only had 20 minutes to the scheduled time for the tour to end. I had to literally run through the museum to see the Sistine Chapel. I was only able to walk through and see it for 2 minutes. The Sistine Chapel was the main reason to book this tour, climbing the dome and seeing St Peter’s was only secondary. I now need to come to Rome again and only book the museum and Sistine Chapel. So disappointing!!!!
Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are so sorry to hear that your wait for the St. Peter's Dome lift cut so deeply into your highly anticipated time inside the Sistine Chapel. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to rush through the museums after such a long delay when seeing the chapel was your main priority. Our Rome Operations Manager was alerted to this situation immediately that morning. To provide some context, the Vatican authorities unexpectedly enforced sudden, strict ticket limits at the Dome entrance, creating an unprecedented bottleneck that our guide was trying their best to navigate on the ground. While we always strive for a flawless itinerary, sudden policy shifts by the monument administration are unfortunately outside of our direct control. Please know that we are fully aware of this specific situation and have already reached out to you directly via email the day after your tour, to address what happened and work to get this resolved for you. We appreciate your patience and truly hope to welcome you back to Rome in the future for the seamless, bucket-list experience you deserve.
Raffa was fantastic, friendly, and accommodating to our group. She was getting knowledgeable. You can always had a smile. We really enjoyed this tour.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear you had an amazing private experience and that Raffa took such fantastic care of your group with her friendly personality and warm smile. Navigating the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, and tackling that spectacular Dome Climb is no small feat, so having a knowledgeable and accommodating guide makes all the difference in the world. Our team takes great pride in creating highly personalized, memorable visits to these iconic landmarks, and we are delighted that Raffa hit the mark perfectly for you. Thank you for exploring Rome with us, and we hope the rest of your vacation is absolutely unforgettable!
If you’re planning to visit St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel, I would strongly recommend doing it with a guide. This was one of the most comprehensive and rewarding tours we did in Italy. There is an enormous amount of history, art, architecture, symbolism, and religious significance packed into these sites. Without guidance, I think we would have spent much of the day wandering through incredible places without fully understanding what we were looking at. We began with St. Peter’s Basilica and the Dome Climb. That includes the elevator to the roof terrace; it’s important to know that the final 320 steps are still climbed on foot. The staircase becomes increasingly narrow, spiral, and confined as you approach the top. Anyone claustrophobic should be aware of this. The views from the summit, however, are extraordinary and absolutely worth the effort. One of the biggest advantages of this tour was the early start. We entered St. Peter’s Square while the crowds were still manageable. When we emerged later in the morning, the queues had grown dramatically. Skip-the-line access alone saved a significant amount of time. It’s a short 15-minute walk to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. The museums are breathtaking but also overwhelming because of their scale. Left to our own devices, I suspect we would have rushed through simply trying to reach the Sistine Chapel. Instead, Loretta helped us focus on key works, stories, and historical context that we would otherwise have overlooked, making the experience far richer and more engaging. Loretta was outstanding: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely delighted when people asked questions. Her passion for the subject matter was infectious and brought the history, art, and significance of the sites to life. By the end of the tour, we were definitely tired, but in the best possible way. There is a huge amount packed into the morning, so I would recommend bringing water and a small snack. We were grateful to have one between the Dome Climb and the Vatican Museums. What surprised me most was how much the tour sparked my curiosity. Rather than feeling like we had simply 'ticked off' major attractions, we left wanting to learn more about Vatican City, its history, its governance, and the extraordinary collection housed within the Vatican Museums. An excellent tour that transformed what could have been an overwhelming experience into one of the highlights of our time in Rome.
Raffa was amazing and very knowledgeable. She had an answer to all of our questions and kept things fun and interesting. I would highly recommend booking with her!
