These fast-track entry tickets to the Vatican City's artistic highlights let you breeze past the long lines waiting to step inside the Vatican and head straight for the entrance. No waiting, just wall-to-wall masterpieces.

Use the extra time you would have spent in line to visit all four remarkable collections: classical sculpture, Renaissance masterpieces, and stunning artifacts from Ancient Egypt and the Etruscans.

After passing the Pine Cone, end your tour by admiring the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo created more than 300 figures on over 500 square meters of the ceiling in his breathtaking fresco. Twenty-two years later, he returned to create The Last Judgement on the entire wall above the altar.
