Full description

Get exclusive access to the highlights of the Vatican City with your Vatican pass, including entry to the Vatican Gardens, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and the St Peter's Church. Take an open-top bus tour for an exciting overview of the area. Start your visit by seeing the Vatican Gardens on an open bus tour with an audio guide. Sit back and relax on the 45-minute bus ride of this striking landscaped area, designed by the great Renaissance architect Carlo Maderno.

Along the tour, see the Pope Emerito House, the Vatican Radio Station, the Academy of Science, the Pope’s former Summer Residence, the Vatican Government Palace, a piece of the original Berlin Wall, and the “Fontana dell’Aquilone", a fountain with dazzling water games.

Marvel at St. Peter’s Basilica from behind and admire the Cupola from a unique perspective. Then, visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel with your reserved entrance ticket.

There are countless marvels to see, but make sure not to miss the five highlights: The four dazzling Raphael Rooms that form the public part of the Popes' apartments, the Belvedere Torso, Leonardo Da Vinci’s St. Jerome in the Wilderness, the Round Room, and the sublime frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. Then, visit St. Peter’s Church at your own pace. Stroll through the striking aisles of the largest church in the world, admiring Michelangelo's "Pieta" and the beautifully carved Bernini Pulpit.

Perfect for anyone who wants to see the Vatican but doesn’t want to be tied down to a tour. The bus tour was a plug in headphones job and took you around the gardens and then you were on your own to explore. Exactly what we were looking for. Just be aware that there are two offices for the same company. We went to the first one but it is the one further up the road at 95 we needed to be at.
