PETER’S BASILICA » DINNER OUT MONDAY: In the morning, you will take a short drive to the smallest country in the world — Vatican City! With our expert local guide you’ll tour the Vatican Museums, a massive collection of ancient Greek sculptures, medieval tapestries, and Renaissance paintings. Your visit starts in the Sistine Chapel, renowned for its Renaissance art, especially the ceiling, which was painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. This room, which attracts more than five million visitors each year, is also where the Pope is elected. Next, you will visit St. Peter’s Basilica, by far the largest church in Christendom. You will see Michelangelo’s Pietà, sculpted when he was just 24 years old, as well as Bernini’s seven story bronze canopy located above the main altar. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy! Take a stroll along the ancient streets of Rome, enjoy a gelato, or go shopping! In the evening, you’ll get a taste of real Italian cuisine at a family-style restaurant in the characteristic district of Trastevere. This lively area is just what one imagines Italy to be like, with tiny cobblestone streets and music-filled trattorias at every corner. (Please note that the visit of St. Peter’s Basilica is subject to availability based on the events planned by the Pope.) DAY 5 • ROME » POMPEII » SORRENTO » DINNER IN HOTEL TUESDAY: In the morning, you are off to Sorrento. You’ll stop along the way for a tour of Pompeii.
