    Sistine Chapel

    Admission included

    Standing beneath the vaulted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you are surrounded by one of the most ambitious artistic undertakings in human history. Michelangelo's painted figures stretch across nearly 5,000 square feet overhead, filling the space with color and drama. The Sistine Chapel draws visitors from every corner of the world to Vatican City, and for good reason. Even photographs cannot prepare you for the scale and intensity of the work when you finally stand inside.
