Description
St. Peter’s Basilica is more than just a church; it’s a living chronicle of history waiting to be explored. Under the guidance of an expert, you’ll uncover the intricate stories etched into its ancient walls, shedding light on Vatican City State, the world’s smallest yet most influential country. As you admire the gilded ceilings, Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s statues, and the breathtaking mosaics, you’ll be transported to a place where magic, spirituality, and beauty converge.
But the exploration doesn’t stop there. Your guide will take you to the Vatican grottoes, where you’ll find the tomb of St. Peter, the final resting place of many popes, and the enduring pillars from Constantine’s original basilica, standing resilient for over 1700 years.
The tour concludes near a quaint fountain with drinkable water, giving you the chance to either linger in the church’s splendor or ascend the dome for a stunning 360-degree view of Rome.
Just a note: tickets to the dome, offering an unbeatable view of the city, are only available at the entrance and cannot be purchased online. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey through history, art, and spirituality.
