See the Vatican After Hours With This Exclusive Tour From Railbookers

"Offered as a limited, after-hours VIP experience on Sept. 8, this UNESCO World Heritage Site's public museums allow small groups to explore for two hours after closing, enjoying a serene, intimate visit away from the usual crowds. Guests can walk beneath the iconic Michelangelo-painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, meander the museum grounds and courtyards, and take in the rich art, history, and architecture before concluding with an apericena — the Italian tradition of relaxed drinks and a light meal — in the museums' courtyard. The opportunity is available only to passengers who book one of three multi-day Railbookers itineraries (8–10 days) that include luxury hotels, private transfers, private and small-group sightseeing, and first-class rail travel; tickets start at $6,459 per person." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
