In Vatican City, the smallest sovereign state in the world, visit the world-renowned Vatican Museums, home to a diverse collection ranging from Egyptian and Etruscan art to pieces by Raphael and Caravaggio. In the famed Sistine Chapel, marvel at the art-adorned walls and, of course, Michelangelo’s famous ceiling painting in which the hand of God gives life to Adam. Then, you will enjoy free time to explore more of Rome’s sights, either centered around the Vatican or in central Rome.
