Colosseum, Vatican Museum, and Sistine Chapel Experience
Overview
Meet your host at the Touristation office where you are provided with preliminary information in a multimedia video about Ancient Rome.
See the Roman Forum where everyday Roman citizens used to live, see the tomb of emperor Julius Caesar, and explore the ancient ruins at your own pace. Continue to Palatine Hill, the site of the foundation of Rome.
Step inside one of the world's most famous monuments, the Colosseum. Visit the Colosseum approximately 2 hours the time at which you met at the Touristation.
Next, take in the highlights of the Vatican Museums on a self-guided tour. Wander through the Hall of Maps, Pinecone Courtyard, Gallery of Tapestries and Raphael Rooms. Enter the Sistine Chapel and gaze up at the masterpiece on the ceiling.
Admire the immense art collection amassed by the Catholic history, including Roman sculptures and Renaissance masterpieces at your own pace. See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest for a while in the Borgia Apartments.
