From the Piazza dell'Esquilino, head for the Vatican. Porta Pinciana will be our first stop, a gate for the Aurelian Walls of Rome and built in the early 5th century under the order of the Emperor Honorius.

Continue the artistic path by visiting the Vatican Museums which represent the largest art collection in Europe with over 65, 000 masterpieces at the Candelabra Gallery, Tapestry Gallery and see the Historical Maps.

Soothe your soul and stop by the Sistine Chapel. See this wondrous structure built in the 15th century under the rule of Pope Sixtus filled with glorious artworks by Botticelli, Pergino, Ghirlandaio and the famous ceiling by Michelangelo.

Of course, we will also visit the Scala Regia, the great staircase built by Gianlorenzo Bernini which started as an eyesore and transformed by the great artist using an art technique called trompe l'oeil.

St. Peter's Basilica is the last stop. The largest Church all over the world is home to Michelangelo's famous “The Pieta” and several tombs of past Popes.
