Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter Basilica Tour with Dome Lift

Skip the lines and experience the Vatican’s three greatest landmarks in one seamless visit, ending with a self-guided climb up St Peter’s Dome with an included audioguide and a rare perspective over Vatican City plus picture-perfect views of Rome. Follow a curated route through the Vatican Museums, from the Gallery of Maps to the Pio-Clementine Museum, home to the Apollo Belvedere and the Laocoön. In the Sistine Chapel, stand beneath Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Then enter St Peter’s Basilica via Bernini’s Royal Staircase, once reserved for popes and royalty, while avoiding the Basilica’s external entry system in St Peter’s Square. Inside, admire Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s Baldachin. After the guided tour, take the elevator partway up the Dome, then climb to the Lantern viewpoint at the top.
