Skip the notoriously long lines into the Vatican and start your day by indulging in a large buffet breakfast including hot and cold food, fruit juices, tea, and coffee.
Once you’ve eaten, you’ll head back into the museum for a tour of the most famous artifacts, including the Belvedere Torso, the Apollo Belvedere, the Laocoön Group, and Raphael Rooms, widely considered to be among the most beautifully-frescoed interiors on earth.
Then, enter the Sistine Chapel before most of the crowd does and spend a peaceful 30mins soaking up Michelangelo’s masterpiece before heading into St. Peter's Basilica via a special access tunnel straight from the Vatican Museums. There's no better place to cap off your morning at this sacred space.
