Private Vatican By Night
Description
This tailor-made tour allows you to enjoy an infinite number of masterpieces like Michelangelo’s “Pietà” and Raphael’s “School of Athens”. All of this with absolute calm and peace without being stressed out by huge crowds pushing you around during normal visiting hours. You will have the incredible opportunity of visiting the Vatican museums at night when just 5% of the crowds are usually present. Walk through the highlights of the various galleries under warm lighting and learn from your guide all of the stories that belong to some of the greatest artists and their masterpieces.
Numerous popes that have lived in the Vatican continuously enriched it with different artworks but the unmissable ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and its sublime ‘Last Judgment” by Michelangelo are surely the real attraction.
In the museums, you will walk through the most beautiful Roman statues, admire the Baroque architecture of the galleries, gasp at the length of the enormous Tapestry Hall, then, through the Hall of the Painted Maps, you will enter the Sistine Chapel whose impact in history, religion and visual arts has no equal in the world.
