Day 11: Vatican Museums & St. Peter's Basilica
Tuesday, August 6th
Morning Classes, Vatican Museums and St. Peters Basilica
This morning our history and photography classes headed into the city while our English class used the classroom space at the hotel to prepare for tomorrow’s test. Photography students enjoyed a photo shoot at the Roman Forum while the history class held presentations at the Circus Maximus and visited two museums.
In the afternoon, we took the metro to the Vatican where we joined our two tour guides for a tour of the Vatican Museums. Students admired the artwork inside the Sistine Chapel, and the many collections of art. We then headed over to St. Peter’s Basilica where we had the opportunity to also visit the crypts below the basilica.
After dinner, students enjoyed some free time in the city centre before returning to the hotel. We set a new step record today at 27,000 steps.
