On a busy day, Vatican visitors might wait in line for 5 or 6 hours before making it to the Sistine Chapel.
The maddening wait is worth it once you finally find yourself standing in awe of one of Michelangelo’s greatest works- but what would you be willing to pay to skip the queue all together?
One company is hoping the answer is 2,000 Euro. That’s exactly what they are charging for a private, after-hours tour of the Sistine Chapel.
For the measly ticket price of 2,000 Euro, you will able to visit the famed chapel after closing time. The astronomical fee promises a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an amazing piece of art apart from the rest of the public. The company offering the tour claims that they’ve already had some interest, mainly from couples looking for a romantic location to renew their vows.
If 2,000 Euro sounds excessive, you can take a free 3-D tour of the Sistine Chapel on the Vatican’s website. The online technology allows you to scroll from the marble floor to the frescoed ceiling, all while skipping the lines and saving a little cash.
