The Vatican Museums are divided into many smaller, unique museums. Among them, the Museo Pio Clementino is likely the most important, and the many highlights it contains cannot be missed! Stop at the Octagonal Courtyard for the Laocoonte and the Apollo Belvedere, or the Round Room for the giant marble bathtub patrolled by an enormous bronze statue of Heracles.

Spot a sculpture of your favorite fauna in the Room of the Animals, or just marvel at the 3D painted vaults of the Gallery of the Candelabra. One of the most popular galleries of the Museums, make a stop here and try to spot the Italian cities you have travelled to, or your ancestor's hometown. These hand-painted maps, dating to the late 1500s, can also be admired for the exquisite attention to detail and embellishments. See if you can spot the nod to Christopher Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic.
Admire Raphael's Rooms painted by the master himself and his pupils around the same time as the Sistine Chapel and inspired and challenged by Michelangelo's greatest masterpiece.
