Vatican City’s Sistine Chapel is one of the world’s most recognizable places, famed for its mesmerizing ceiling fresco by Michaelangelo. Scores of people from all over the world flock to see his masterpiece.
Rome is a city that has so much to offer travelers who want to explore its rich history and culture. You can experience some of the most famous attractions in the city, such as visiting the Sistine Chapel or the Vatican Museum - both must-visit sites. However, access to these landmarks can come with the downside of long waits. Thankfully, Go City® offers Vatican skip the line tickets, so you can make the most of their time in Rome. You'll also get Sistine Chapel tickets with this offer.
You’ll get to take in the highlights of the Vatican Museums, from the Sistine Chapel and its awe-inspiring architecture to the lesser-known gems of the Catholic church’s collection.
You’ll witness first-hand the dazzlingly intricate Hall of Maps, the majesty of Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Candelabra, and the striking Raphael's Rooms. Staff will be on hand to lead you on your way, but this is a self-guided tour, allowing you to explore the details of one of the world’s most famous religious structures at your leisure.
