What to expect

In the heart of Rome, nestled within Vatican City, stands the renowned and awe-inspiring St. Peter's Church. Its grand dome marks it as the world's largest church. Ascending the 120-metre high dome offers a spectacular view over Rome's skyline. The construction was completed in 1626, with Pope Urban VIII inaugurating the church in a grand ceremony.

St. Peter's Basilica, spanning an area of 15,160 m², boasts the most expansive interior, accommodating up to 20,000 people. Inside, you'll find 800 columns crafted from marble, bronze and stucco, along with 44 altars and a wealth of art treasures, including Michelangelo's Pietà.

The basilica and its square are a magnet for thousands of believers worldwide who attend the Pope's masses. A climb of 537 steps takes you to the dome, globally recognised as the largest cantilevered structure. Whether it's the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, the treasury, the Vatican caves or the necropolis - each is a sight to behold.
