RM4 - VATICAN MUSEUMS

The purpose of this tour is the visit of the Vatican Museums. Leaving the Piazza San Bernardo, adorned by Moses’ Fountain, we will head to Piazza della Repubblica, with the Fountain of Naiadi in the middle. Then the itinerary will continue, passing by Via Bissolati, Via Veneto and the Villa Borghese. After this ample view of an important part of the city, we will visit the Vatican Museums and the Vatican Galleries (lines possible at the entrance). You will then admire the modern entrance built for the Jubilee 2000, the Galeries of the Chandeliers, of the Tapestries and of the Geographical Maps, the Sobiesky Hall and the Immaculate Conception Hall. We will then stop to admire the Sistine Chapel, seat of the Conclave, frescoed by Michelangelo to end up in the Ancient Vatican Library.
