Vatican Museums tickets and Castel Sant'Angelo tickets are sold separately on the venues' official websites. 

In the Vatican Museums, art historians Cecilia Martini, Jeannette Pena, and Valentina Ansuini will guide you through the masterpieces of the Vatican museums including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Raphael's School of Athens, antiquities like the Belvedere Torso and Laocöon and works by everyone from Da Vinci to Caravaggio to Matisse. If you'd like to dig deeper, join Egyptologist Giulia Pagliari and art historian Theresa Potenza to illuminate how Rome was influenced by the Ancient Egyptians and Etruscans. Together, these local experts will guide you through the museum's vast collections while focusing your attention on the pieces, people, and stories that changed history. Along the way, you'll learn about the complex relationship between art, politics, and power throughout the long history of the Catholic Church.

At St. Peter's Basilica, Valentina Ansuini will lead you through the world's largest and most important Catholic Church, pointing out the groundbreaking architecture, holy shrines, and unique art inside. If you're ambitious enough to climb the dome, professor Frank Dabell will open your eyes to the structure as you climb and the panoramic view when you reach the top.

The Rome Jubilee (Dec 24, 2024 - Dec 14, 2025) may impact availability for visits in St. Peter's Basilica with short notice. You can find the most up-to-date schedule of events and closures here.

At Castel Sant'Angelo, archaeologist Philip Ditchfield will unlock the 2,000-year-old castle’s history, from safe rooms to centuries-old art, and trace its development from Emperor Hadrian's Tomb to a medieval stronghold to a palace and refuge for Popes through the centuries.
