A journey through Rome's iconic landmarks

Embark on a journey through Rome's iconic landmarks. Begin your exploration at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, where you'll be transported to a world of art and history. Marvel at the breathtaking and vibrant frescoes on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, painted by the legendary Michelangelo. From the angelic figures to the dramatic scenes of the Last Judgment, these masterpieces are sure to leave you in awe.

Next, step into the opulent Patrizi Montoro Palace, a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into Rome's aristocratic past.

Discover the fascinating history of this private palace, one of the few remaining in the city, and immerse yourself in the grandeur of its interiors. This palace was owned by the Borghese, Doria, and Colonna families since 1942, and is now occupied by the Patrizi family's descendants.
