What to expect

Experience the magnificent St Peter’s Basilica with entry to the Cupola and a self-guided audio tour. Enjoy 2000 years of history with delicate mosaics, stunning architecture and intricate sculptures before ascending up to see Michelangelo’s Cupola – the crowning dome.

Using a digital map and a self-guided audio tour with 27 points of interest, you'll journey through the Basilica's key highlights from the convenience of your smartphone. You'll climb the Dome and have a close look at the interior mosaics, while listening to informative stories about the church's history. Don't forget to take a scenic snap from the very top of the eternal city, while enjoying the panoramic views of St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Gardens.

Situated in Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica stands as a remarkable symbol of both religious importance and exceptional architectural design. Construction of the Renaissance and Baroque-style building began over 500 years ago on the presumed burial site of St Peter, the disciple of Jesus Christ and Pope of the Catholic Church. Don't miss out on this unique experience to see the greatest of all churches of Christendom for yourself.
