After a relaxing lunch break, the afternoon portion of your tour takes you to the Vatican Museums, as you explore the galleries, your guide will point out key masterpieces like the Apollo Belvedere and the dramatic Laocoön group — sculptures that deeply inspired Michelangelo when painting the figures of the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.
