itinerary- This wheelchair only tour of the Vatican Museums begins with a visit to the Pinacoteca Gallery. Known as the Vatican Art Gallery, the Pinacoteca contains some of the most famous masterpieces of the Vatican Museums. The newest addition to the Vatican in 1932, which is so often overlooked, houses a total of 460 works spanning from the Middle Ages through the 1800's. Travel through Pinacoteca's 18 rooms as you explore the lesser-known masterpieces of Raphael, Caravaggio, and Da Vinci.

- Then travel through the Pigna courtyard and then on to the upper galleries to explore the Gallery of Tapestries and the Gallery of Maps. At 75 meters long, the Gallery of the Maps, painted between 1580 and 1585, takes its name from the 40 maps frescoed on the walls, representing each of the Italian regions and papal properties at the time of Pope Gregory XIII.
- Drift through the Sobieski Room and the Room of the Immaculate Conception before entering the famous Raphael Rooms. Spanning four separate areas, the frescos of the Raphael Rooms are considered to be some of the most valued works of art in Italy.
- Last, but not least, is the Sistine Chapel. An absolute must-see in Rome, you will discover amazing works of art including Michelangelo's The Last Judgement - the largest fresco ever painted by one man.
