In the afternoon, we proceeded to Vatican city which is actually a separate country. The Vatican museums were amazing with long galleries of exquisite works of art. We followed a slow moving queue into Sistine Chapel where we were greeted by the magnificent fresco of the Last Judgement by Michelangelo. Our final stop of the day was the beautiful St Peter’s Basilica which hosts some amazing works by famous artists.
