Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel, Skip-the-Line Tour
The Sistine Chapel ceiling took Michelangelo four years to paint, lying on scaffolding 20 metres above the floor. In person, the scale and detail, particularly The Creation of Adam, is overwhelming. A guided tour navigates the Vatican Museums' extraordinary galleries (the Gallery of Maps alone is a masterpiece) to reach the chapel without the exhausting queue.
What you'll do
- Sistine Chapel ceiling, The Creation of Adam
