Itinerary

Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
Admission included

Begin your journey with the extraordinary Last Judgment Virtual Show, a multimedia experience that brings Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to life. Surrounded by music, lights, and projections, you’ll relive the story of Genesis, from the Creation of Light to the Expulsion of Adam and Eve, and witness dramatic scenes of the Apocalypse with angels, blessed souls, and the damned revealed in vivid detail. Michelangelo himself will guide you into the heart of his masterpiece, making you feel part of the painting. After the show, our staff will take you to the Vatican Museums entrance. With your skip-the-line ticket, you’ll pass the queues and step into one of the world’s greatest art collections. Explore galleries, sculptures, and masterpieces at your own pace, and finally enter the Sistine Chapel to admire Michelangelo’s frescoes with your own eyes. This unique combination of technology and history offers both a virtual and real encounter with the Vatican’s treasures.

Everything is fine

The tour was great, the VR, experience at the colonnade of St. Peter's Square and the tour of the Vatican Museums were impressive. It’s just a shame that it takes some time to reach the Sistine Chapel, but it’s definitely worth it. It's all right.

Operator response

Thank you for your great feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the VR experience at St. Peter’s Square and found the Vatican Museums tour impressive. It’s true the walk to the Sistine Chapel takes some time, but as you said, it’s absolutely worth it in the end. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again for more unforgettable experiences! Ancient & Recent

Breathtaking tour

The Sistine Chapel is simply wonderful. I began the experience at the Vatican colonnade for the virutal reality, and even there I was speechless..

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the experience left you speechless even from the very beginning at the Vatican colonnade. Our goal with the virtual reality tour is to provide a powerful and immersive introduction to the beauty and history of the Sistine Chapel, and it’s wonderful to know it resonated with you. We hope the rest of your visit was just as unforgettable. Looking forward to welcoming you again for more journeys through art and time! Ancient & Recent

Beautiful experience

Really an interesting experience, the virtual reality of the Last Judgment is impressive! it gives you a preview of what you will see next in the Sistine Chapel proper (the path to get there is a bit long). Really nice experience.
