What to expect
Vatican Museums
The first stop of your ineffable Night tour will be the Vatican Museums. Enter the museum grounds with your skip the line ticket. You can start your exploration from the Pinacoteca Gallery that houses paintings of the old masters including Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Giotto, etc. Don’t forget to check out the Gregorian Egyptian Museum and the Ethnological Museum for Egyptian and non-European artifacts. You will be enchanted by the mystifying effect of the night on these artifacts that a daytime tour can hardly reveal. Cruise through the numerous galleries and museums with swift direction and vivid commentary from your guide. Pass through the Gallery of Maps to enter the Raphael Rooms.
Stanze di Raffaello
The four interconnected rooms at the Apostolic Palace that contain works of the famous renaissance artist Raphael are known as the Raphael Rooms. Take some time to admire Raphael’s frescoes and prepare yourself for the main attraction of your tour.
Sistine Chapel
The most popular attraction of the Vatican Museums is famous for its unrivaled ceiling frescoes. The series of fresco paintings include one of the most iconic paintings in the world “The Creation of Adam”, which was painted by the peerless Michelangelo. Witness in awe as the ceiling reveals all of its blissful symmetry to you under the bright lights that get obscured in the daytime tours. Contemplate the other note-worthy paintings in the chapel which include Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement” and “The Baptism of Jesus” by Perugino.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
