Price from
$43.84 per person
Explore St. Peter's Basilica and Dome like never before, from 136 meters above sea level. Enjoy views of Rome from above on a self-guided tour.

Located in Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica stands as a remarkable symbol of long-standing religious importance and exceptional architectural ingenuity. Initially commissioned by Pope Julius II during the 16th century, this grand basilica was built on the supposed burial site of St. Peter, the esteemed disciple of Jesus Christ, encapsulating centuries of history and spiritual reverence.

First, climb the dome and take a closer look at the interior mosaics while your audio guide tells the church's history. Enjoy panoramic views of St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Gardens. Then, admire the Colosseum from afar and gaze at the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo, and other ancient buildings that make Rome unique.

After descending from the dome, admire Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's Baldacchino, and the final resting places of St. Peter and other popes. Using a digital map and 27 designated listening points, the audio guide will take you on a journey through the basilica's main highlights. Explore the decorative details and intricate mosaic art that adorn the interior walls. Immerse yourself in Michelangelo's Pietà and the meaning and historical significance of the extraordinary pavement below you.
