Enjoy a unique tour of Saint Peter's basilica to find out more about its dome, refined interiors, ancient grottos, and the namesake square that wonderfully frames it.
Start your visit reaching the top of the Basilica's dome, where you'll enjoy a bird's-eye view over the basilica's floor. From there you'll also have the chance to closely admire the Dome's mosaics. Once at the top balcony, you'll get to see a breathtaking view over the Vatican gardens, Colosseum, Pantheon, and Castel Sant'Angelo from a height of 136 meters
Avoiding the long lines at the entrance, you will directly descend into the Basilica from the dome. Here you'll be amazed by the astonishing mosaics and rich marble pavements surrounding you. Your expert guide will show you renowned Renaissance and Neoclassic masterpieces including Michelangelo's Pietà and works by Canova and Bernini, among others.
Go further down into the grottos lying beneath the biggest church in the world to see the tomb of St. Peter inside the original 4th-century basilica. Lastly, conclude your adventure in St. Peter's Square, where you'll find two 'special' spots and perceive the all-embracing effect created by Bernini's colonnade.
