The Experience

At the heart of the UNESCO-listed Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums house Renaissance masterpieces by Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Raphael—some of the world's greatest works, but also some of the most popular. In this exclusive visit away from the crowds, you'll be one of just ten people to access the chapel after hours, accompanied by an expert art historian. You'll explore hidden corners and discover details rarely seen on standard tours. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
