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

Worth it
Alysia, our guide, was amazing. Nice to have the info as we walked. Bring water bottles. The elevator up had a 40 min wait so we did the 551 stairs and it was okay. The dome allowed you to see the mosaics, piece by piece and understand how they are not painting. Very beautiful, take a moment to feel the energy of this place-very powerful.

Ting was amazing, great details, very passionate about the church, its contents and importance. Kept close eye on the tour group, very busy. Highly recommended.

Lorenzo was a very good tour guide and the bisilicca itself was very beautiful. I recommend you do the dome to view the city from the very top

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.

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.
