parts on your way to the Sistine Chapel. Normally
this visit includes the Cortile della Pigna, Belvedere, Pio
Clementino Museum, the Gallery of Candelabra, the Gallery of
Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps, and Raphael's Rooms. Because of
the way the traffic inside the Museums is regulated, at

Basilica, where you will see the Pietà by
Michelangelo and other fantastic masterpieces by
Bernini and Canova. After St. Peter's you

shop for souvenirs and/or take a drink and relax.
