Rome 24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus + Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel Tickets

BEST OF ROME EXPERIENCE

24-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus + Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Entry

Discover the spiritual and artistic soul of Rome at your own pace.
This all-in-one experience combines the comfort of a 24-hour panoramic Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour with skip-the-line access to one of the world's most extraordinary collections of art and history: the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

Ride through the heart of the Eternal City on an open-top bus, hopping on and off whenever inspiration strikes. Explore iconic landmarks like the Spanish Steps, Piazza Venezia, or Castel Sant’Angelo — but the true highlight awaits behind the walls of the Vatican.

Avoid the queues and step directly into centuries of beauty: galleries filled with masterpieces, sculptures, maps, and tapestries — and, at the climax of your visit, the stunning Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s frescoes continue to leave millions in awe.

This is not just a tour. It’s a journey through art, faith, and power — at your rhythm, with no rush, no crowds, just you and the timeless treasures of Rome.
