What are people saying about St. Peter's Dome (Cupola di San Pietro)

Great tour Guide / Viatour needs a sign
Our Guide Mario was fantastic. He is Italian and spoke perfect Portuguese. Very knowledgeable of history and the meaning of everything! On Viatour it is not explained that we will meet 3rd party guides so it was challenging to find where to go as there is no VIATOUR sign where the guides are. And since it is a thee party, a lot of them had not idea what Viatour was.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind! He had a lot of valuable insight about the building of St. Peter’s and we loved the stories he told about the building!

Exceptional experience!...
Exceptional experience! Go deeper than the catacombs into roman mausoleums and see St Peters tomb. Uneven ground with stairs and occasional low ceilings. We enjoyed our own walk around St Peters Basilica following, with amazing climb up to the view from the dome.

10 Stars!!
Our guide was absolutely amazing! 10 stars for him!!! I like the headset idea because then you don’t have to stay right next to your guide. You can hear them but still look around. We had a very small group, which was also amazing!

St. Peter's Dome (Cupola di San Pietro)
  • You must pass through a security check to access the dome—banned items include pocketknives, corkscrews, and umbrellas.

  • The dress code in the basilica and dome requires that shoulders and knees are covered.

  • The dome is partially accessible to wheelchair users. There is an elevator to the roof level (or you can climb the 320 steps), but only a spiral staircase provides access to the cupola at the highest point of the dome (another 200 steps).

  • Views are dizzying from the top of St. Peter’s Dome, so visiting the top is not recommended for anyone afraid of heights.

  • Kids especially enjoy the invigorating climb and views, so consider joining a small-group tour tailored to families if traveling with children.
