With over 4 miles and a whopping 20,000 works of art, the Vatican Museums make for an immersive experience.
The Sistine Chapel is equally impressive with a sanctuary boasting works by master painters such as Perugino, Pinturicchio, Ghirlandaio, Rosselli, Botticelli, Signorelli, della Gatta and, of course, Michelangelo.
