explore the Vatican without the crowds



Imagine the Vatican without any crowds... The headline says it all. A vivid memory of my last visit to the Vatican — the ever-present crowds. Though we were part of a tour (one way to avoid the L-O-N-G ticket lines), the crowd of visitors took away so much from the visit. The Sistine Chapel, the highlight of our visit, was packed wall-to-wall with people. The corridors were jammed. The experience was one of claustrophobia, not inspiration.

There's a better way! Be part of an exclusive group that enters the Vatican at daybreak. With no more than 20 guests in your group, you and your guide will follow the clavigero (key keeper) as he opens the doors to the Vatican Museums and its galleries. You'll see the Gallery of Maps and Raphael's Room as the lights are turned on for the day. You'll have the Sistine Chapel to yourself. And your group will enjoy breakfast in the Pinecone Courtyard.

The cost — from $527.97 per person

SPECIAL VALUE — book by Oct. 14, travel between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15, 2018
