Next, take in the highlights of the Vatican Museums on a self-guided tour. Wander through the Hall of Maps, Pinecone Courtyard, Gallery of Tapestries, Gallery of Candelabrs, and Raphael Rooms. Access the Sistine Chapel and gaze up at the masterpiece on the ceiling.

Admire the immense collection of art accumulated throughout Catholic history, including Roman sculptures and Renaissance gems, at your own pace. See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest for a while in the Borgia Apartments.
