If you are not able to travel in person for whatever reason, the good news is that museums and attractions around the world are providing virtual tours, allowing you to experience them from the comfort of your couch.

Among the most iconic places offering virtual tours is the Vatican .

Typically millions of travelers visit the Vatican Museums every year. Its many halls are almost always crowded, making it difficult at times to truly admire the intensely detailed frescoes, especially in the Sistine Chapel. However, the Vatican Museums created a variety of impressive virtual tours showcasing several areas around the grounds. Now, you can sit at home and contemplate these historic beauties with easy-to-navigate virtual tours that are also completely free of charge.

There are 26 distinct areas in the Vatican Museums, and thanks to this digital tourism option, virtual visitors have the opportunity to explore sections that are normally off-limits to the public, including the Niccoline Chapel , which features frescoes by Fra Angelico. Raphael's Rooms, created for popes Julius II (1503-13) and Leo X (1513-21), also have 360-degree tours that place you right in the middle of the elegant rooms.

The Vatican Museums also offer photos and videos of other areas where virtual tours have not been made, such as the Gregorian Egyptian Museum , the Jewish Lapidarium , and the Carriage Pavilion .

For a full list of all the virtual tours available, visit the Vatican Museums official website . And once you're done exploring, be sure to check out these 12 museums from around the world that are also offering virtual tours.

sistine chapel virtual tour 360

Overview and HistoryAll roads lead to Rome, the capital of Italy, current football world champions, where western civilization really got cookin' and Christianity gained its foothold on an empire.According to legend, the city was founded on the Palatine Hill by Romulus and Remus, just after they finished wiping wolf's milk from their lips. Romulus killed his brother Remus in a fight over who had the right to name the city, hence "Rome" and not "Remo". He attained divine status after his death, being given the name "Quirinus," the root of which you can see in the Quirinale Palace.The Quirinale Palace is the home of the President of the Italian Republic. Its fountain has two ancient statues of Castor and Pollux, sons of Zeus, the famous twins of the Gemini constellation.Rome is famous for its seven hills: Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, Viminal. Vatican City is on Vatican Hill which is not one of the seven hills. It's its own state, too, not technically under the authority of Italy. It's also the smallest country in the world.Within Vatican City you can find the Pope of course, the Basilica of St. Peter and also Michaelangelo's masterpiece -- the painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This painting is a fresco, which means the paint is part of the actual plaster. The painter mixes plaster and pigment at the same time and had to finish the work before the plaster dried, and by the way he was laying on his back to do it. Call me crazy but I think the requirements for being an artist have declined in their stringency of late. Vatican City has an insane amount of pure-gold artwork as well.Since Rome predates the Christian era, you will find many examples of gods and goddesses who were worshipped in the Pantheon, or, "Temple to All the Gods." This is the oldest domed building still standing in Rome, dating to 35 B.C and first reconstructed in 126 A.D. It's been in continuous use since it was built, and has been a Catholic church since 700 A.D.Students of history may also enjoy the Roman Forum, around which the ancient city first developed. This area included the Senate and Republican government, and a central marketplace where everyone came for news, supplies, gossip and everything else. It's between Palatine hill and Capitoline hills, a swampy spot that was drained during the Forum's construction. Doomed to repeat history, or fascinated by its roots? Take your pick.All roads lead to Rome except this one, it leads to the Colosseum. Forget Youtube, Netflix and getting laid. REAL entertainment comes from the Colosseum. Do you know why we have popcorn and movies today? Because first they had Bread and circus at the Colosseum, baby! Fake pirate battles in an ocean of real blood! Two vs. one gladiator ambushing with Neptune's tridents and deadly spiked nets! Here's the interior.If this is what you see around you, you'd better hope to find a sharp sword in your hand to go with it.Now nevermind all that old stuff, welcome to the Hippodrome, race fans! Besides being the coolest panorama on the whole site, the Circus Maximus was where they had the chariot races and judges who knew how to take a bribe for pole position.But let's zoom back out for a second. Rome is located on the Tiber river. Crossing the Tiber are many bridges dating back several centuries, for instance Ponte Cavour, Ponte Umberto, and the Saint Angelo bridge.Rome offers an enviable array of Renaissance and Baroque architecture due to its luck; like Prague and only a few other cities, it escaped major damage during WWII.Now here are a few little things to get you there so you can investigate the more than 2500 years of history which continue to seep into out modern times.Getting ThereFiumicino Airport provides international access for flights into Italy. You can connect to it by bus, train or taxi. The train takes about thirty minutes and costs five euro or so.There's a smaller airport called Ciampino, which handles mostly charter flights, and has a bus line running to meet the Metro.TransportationThe historic center of Rome is less than two miles from the central Colosseum and Piazza di Spagna, so you might as well walk there. The bus network is very extensive but the Metro is probably easier to get your head around. It's called the Metropolitana and it makes a loop around, rather than through, the city. Basic tickets cost one euro. Night buses run between midnight and four am when the metro stops.You can also hop onto one of the many tourist buses for a guided ride around Rome. These prices are a lot higher than the metro, but it's an activity more than just a ride.Now if you really want to do as the Romans do, rent yourself a Vespa scooter and drive it one-handed, shouting.People and CultureYou don't have to have a lot of money to have good style. That's Italian culture in a word.I'll go up against Paris right here and say that Italians have style all sewn up. Rocking a scooter in a red dress and stiletto heels? Come on.Here are a few piquant expressions which further the idea:"Finish that pasta so Nonna doesn't have to put it away.""It's sugar sweet and as big as your hand.""People do not age at the table."And concerning the stereotype that Italians all talk with their hands:"Mathematics is not a matter of opinion."Just imagine how funny it was, the first time that one sprung out.Things to do & RecommendationsFirst of all, go back and see all the panoramas in the top section. After you've been through the places and back, try these:Modern art at Gallery Nuovo Pesa.Worm through the Aseq esoteric library on your way to Limonaia Cafeteria for lunch.After lunch, pick up a few things at the most popular market in Rome, Piazza Vittorio.Be glad you're there and not eating only memories in the Traianei Market ancient Roman market.Some other gems in the city: the Trevi Fountain and its marketplaceFor a little more religious history, visit the 18th century Rococo style Plaza of St. Ignacio. Saint Ignacio was the founder of the Jesuits or Society of Jesus, the largest male religious order in the Catholic church.There are also some beautiful green spaces in Rome, like the historic park Il Pincio and Villa Borghese parks. Look at those cherry blossoms!For music lovers, the Auditorium is the main music hall in Rome.Text by Steve Smith.

You can now take a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel online

By Manon Garrigues

Chapelle Sixtine Vatican Italie

Today you can take a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel , one of the most famous and grandiose religious monuments hidden in the heart of the Vatican Museums .

A Vatican treasure

The Vatican Museums in Rome are among the most visited museums in the world. Every year, 7 million tourists flock to discover the splendor of these 12 museums, comprising no less than five galleries and 1,400 rooms, inaugurated in 1771. An extraordinary collection of works of art, mainly paintings and sculptures collected over the centuries by the popes and the institution of the Vatican Museums . Among the must-sees are Apollo Belvedere , Laocoön and His Sons , Portrait of Doge Nicolo Marcello by Titian , The Entombment of Christ by Caravaggio and The Yellow Christ by Paul Gauguin . But the number one attraction of this sacred place remains the Sistine Chapel , the largest room in the Vatican Museums, and certainly the most spectacular. Named after Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere , who had the old Cappella Magna restored between 1477 and 1480, the Sistine Chapel has traditionally hosted the election of the new pope by the cardinals since the 15th century. But it is thanks to its incredible collection of paintings that the chapel is so famous. On the walls hang paintings by Perugino , Sandro Botticelli , Domenico Ghirlandaio , Cosimo Rosselli and Pinturicchio ... And the star of the show is the chapel's vault, which is entirely covered with frescoes painted by Michelangelo , the most famous of which is the one illustrating The Last Judgement . Currently closed because of the coronavirus epidemic, which is violently striking Italy and the rest of the world, the Sistine Chapel is offering a virtual tour of its treasures via its website.

This interactive tour of the Sistine Chapel will mesmerize you

You’ll never get to take a photo of the Sistine Chapel, and you’ll probably never get to cross its threshold in person. But now, if you can carve out a few quiet moments in front of your computer, you can take a private tour of the chapel, replete with all the fine art you can handle.

We’re absolutely transfixed by this interactive experience , which brings a 360-degree, zoomable image of the Sistine Chapel to Web users around the world. The chapel is bright and feels almost alive; its walls are bursting with beauty and history; and timeless music washes through your speakers (or headphones or earbuds — you get the idea) as you marvel at one of the most remarkable buildings on Earth.

Zooming in gives you a closer view of the wondrous Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Above: Zooming in gives you a closer view of the wondrous Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Other areas of the Vatican have photo galleries and written information, but nothing comes close to the virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel.

The site, which was brought to our attention via a Hacker News thread , sheds literal light on what is normally a dark and very crowded room where tourists are given a brief amount of time to take in an extraordinary amount of culture. On the other hand, this site gives you as much time as you could ever want to pore over every detail of the Michelangelo-painted walls and ceilings.

We can’t wait to see if more of the Vatican’s fascinating art and architecture will make its way onto the Web — and onto even more immersive virtual reality devices, perhaps.

Get the Fascinating Full Story of the Sistine Chapel

As the  Pope’s private chapel , you might think of the Sistine Chapel as the Vatican Palaces’ inner sanctum – holiness ground zero for the Catholic faith. Ever since it was constructed on the orders of Pope Sixtus IV between 1477 and 1482 to designs by  Baccio Pontelli , the Sistine Chapel has played regular host to masses and other religious and official events for the Papal Household. The Sistine Chapel is also where the cardinals of the church gather in absolute secrecy during  papal conclaves  to elect their latest leader via a private ballot.

Thanks to the magnificent paintings that  Michelangelo  painted here between 1508-1512 at the behest of  Pope Julius II , the Sistine Chapel is also the most recognisable temple of Renaissance art in the world, and for half a millennium has stood as the pre-eminent example of the heights to which humankind can rise in pursuit of artistic perfection. Join Mario to get the full picture!

Discover what the Sistine Chapel was Like Before Michelangelo

Michelangelo wasn't only great artist to have left his mark in the Sistine Chapel. Even without his epoch-making intervention, the chapel would still be considered one of the great pilgrimage destinations for art-lovers from all around the world - but instead of Michelangelo visitors would be speaking in hushed tones about  Botticelli ,  Perugino ,  Rosselli  and  Ghirlandaio . These were the great masters of the Renaissance that Pope Sixtus IV turned to decorate his new chapel.

You'll learn about these stunning and often overlooked Renaissance masterpieces depicting the lives of Moses and Jesus Christ surmounted by portraits of the popes. Discover the effective propagandistic message being delivered by the scheme - Sixtus’ not so subtle way of re-affirming that it was he whom God had chosen to administer his affairs on earth in imitation of his great forebears.

Unravel the Symbolism of Michelangelo’s Extraordinary Ceiling

Michelangelo painted the entire ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between 1508 and 1512 at the behest of  Pope Julius II , one of the most important popes of the Italian Renaissance and perhaps its most influential patron of art. Learn about their stormy relationship, and discover how Julius ordered Michelangelo to replace the ceiling’s charming fresco of a starry sky on a blue background with narrative scenes from the  book of Genesis.

In four years of furious creative energy, Michelangelo completed a mind-bogglingly complex scheme comprising of 343 figures over the 12,000 square feet of the Chapel’s immense ceiling.  Hebrew prophets, pagan sibyls  and athletic male nudes, the so-called  ignudi,  lounge around the fringes of the vault: at the centre is the entire span of the  Old Testament Book of Genesis  in 9 panels, from God’s primordial  Separation of Light and Darkness  up to the near-total destruction of the world in the  Great Flood  and the salvation of  Noah’s Ark.

At the very centre of Michelangelo’s epic biblical narrative is the most iconic gesture in the history of art: the  trace contact between the fingers of God and Adam  that breathes life into the world and sets into motion the long story of humankind.  

Gaze on the Majesty of Michelangelo’s Last Judgement

30 years later, Michelangelo returned to the Sistine Chapel to take on an equally challenging commission. Between 1536 and 1541, pope Clement VII (and later Paul III) prevailed upon the now elderly painter to return to the scene of his greatest triumph and take up his brushes once again. Like a sportsman beseeched to return to the playing field for one last attempt at glory, the wheedling popes convinced Michelangelo to paint for them a truly immense fresco covering the entire altar-wall of the chapel.

At the centre of the massive composition is Christ in the guise of a Judge and seemingly modelled on a monumental ancient sculpture, imperiously damning the souls of the sinful with one hand as his other draws the spirits of the saved upwards towards their eternal abodes in heaven.

Surrounding Christ are the naked bodies of Christian saints and martyrs. A massively muscular St Bartholomew clutches his own lifeless skin, a reference to his being flayed to death by his persecutors. The flaccid fleshy sack conceals an amazing secret self-portrait - the sagging lifeless features are those of none other than Michelangelo himself. Discover the full story on our virtual tour with Mario!

5.0 (21 reviews)

The virtual tour was an extraordinarily experience. The virtual tour representative was excellent and I learned a great deal about Roman history. Mario was a fantastic guide that I would definitely request in the future. He is knowledgeable, friendly and one can see that he enjoys his job. Thank you for excellent customer service.

Michelle - Apr 28, 2021

The tour was wonderful, it felt like I was in the Sistine Chapel. Mario was excellent, so informative, very personable . I will highly recommend these tours and will be taking one again. I hope the tours continue to be available, as I want to give these tours as Christmas gifts - 4 tours each to 4 loved ones at least. Also Pips was wonderful in help me arrange this tour and especially when the date had to be changed.
