Overview

St. Peter’s Basilica can be overwhelming to explore on your own due to its immense scale and wealth of artwork. This half-day guided tour makes it easier to appreciate the highlights—such as towering marble columns and works by Michelangelo and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Then, climb to the top of the dome for sweeping views across Rome.
  • Learn far more than you would on your own on a guided tour
  • Get the inside scoop on the basilica's history and architecture
  • Hear loud and clear with an included audio headset
  • Head straight inside with skip-the-line entry

Lisa_L, Nov 2024
