Vatican Virtual Reality Experience

Experience the magic of the Vatican by participating in a Vatican Virtual Reality Experience. Learn and have fun with us!

So, meet the staff at the agreed point and join the group. The staff will certainly be happy to welcome you and give you all the information you need to carry out your visit in the best possible way. The Vatican Virtual Reality Experience is, without a doubt, a new way of learning about history. Wear a latest generation VR viewer and witness first-hand the evolution of Rome and St. Peter’s Basilica.

Different phases will retrace the past centuries. From Nero’s Rome, with its Circus Neronis and Christian persecutions; to the first early Christian basilica built by Constantine in 313 AD. Observe the structure of the Circus Neronis; bear witness to the events that led the emperor Constantine to the construction of the first early Christian basilica; then watch the city change around; enters the basilica; be enchanted by the long stained glass windows; from the majestic altar and the precious marbles.

At the end of the incipit, put on the VR viewer to enter the Sistine Chapel: the doors open wide and your guide appears: Michelangelo. Follow him and go on an extraordinary journey. Enter the heart of the Sistine Chapel painting: Genesis. Watch God as he creates the world; Separation the light from the darkness; finally walk through the Garden of Eden as the plants and animals come to life around you; see how the Creation of Adam and Eve took place with their Expulsion from the Earthly Paradise; and finally enters a new dimension.

Go through the door of the underworld. Meet Charon and Judge Minos; you will see the Angels of the Apocalypse arrive to announce the divine Judgment; behold the bodies of the blessed rise from the earth and fly to heaven. Get in with them too. Hordes of saints surround Jesus, who with his hand raised announces the awaited Last Judgment.
