Vatican Tours | The Vatican Museums are organized according to different levels of depth of the boundless collections; they already give the idea that, in this city of museums, you know when you enter but not when you leave. Even just visiting the indispensable masterpieces is enough to get the impression that the pontiffs were among the most generous patrons of Italian art. The Vatican City is included in the UNESCO register and is considered a World Heritage Site. The epicenter of the Roman Catholic Church, Vatican City is one of the most visited places in the world. The Vatican City is an actual treasure chest that contains works of immense value, and among the best known we have the imposing St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the immense Vatican Museums. In this small but incredible place, over the centuries, the greatest artists in the world have worked (Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and Bernini), each of whom has left traces of his passage, making this place unique.
The vastness of the rooms and the quantity of works of art on display make the help of a tourist guide necessary. Only a guided tour of the Vatican can help you better appreciate the history and be curious about the history of Christianity, the popes, and the artists who worked here.
