Sightseeing tour Thursday 10 April

St. Peter, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and downtown Rome

The Vatican City is the world’s smallest sovereign state with one of the richest art collections in the world. We will visit the Candelabra Gallery, the Tapestry Gallery and the Geographical Map Gallery, from which we can glimpse the exquisite gardens of the Pope. We will also visit the world renowned Sistine Chapel, in which Michelangelo spent four gruelling years painting the chapel’s ceiling with scenes from the Old Testament. The tour will continue on to Piazza Venezia, and from this modern footstep in history, we will begin our journey into ancient times. The day ends with stops at the Roman Forum, the Trojan Market, Coliseum and the Arches of Constantine and Titus.
