Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & Patrizi Montoro Palace: Fast Track Ticket

VIP treatment at the Vatican Museums – it's no longer only for the Pope! Join your escort near the museums, and you'll be assisted through security. Once inside, explore this mind-blowing collection of Renaissance art and its crowning glory, the Sistine Chapel, in your own time. See Michelangelo's handiwork. And along the way, take in Raphael's _School of Athens_, the Hall of Tapestries, the Map Room, and so much more. The ticket also includes a visit to Patrizi Montoro Palace, a historic residence of one of the Roman noble families since 1642. Located in Piazza San Luigi dei Francesi, the palace is close to the Baroque church featuring Caravaggio's masterpieces and the Sant'Agostino Basilica, home to works by Caravaggio and Raphael. The palace was newly opened in 2024 and can be visited any day except Wednesday.
