St. Peter’s Basilica Dedicated Entry with Audio Guide
Begin your experience at St. Peter’s Basilica, where you’ll skip the line and enter one of the world’s most iconic churches. With your audio guide in, explore the basilica at your own pace, discovering masterpieces like Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s Baldacchino. Descend into the Papal Tombs, where you’ll find the final resting places of many popes. Learn about the history and significance of these sacred sites as you wander through the crypts. If you’ve chosen the dome access option, take the elevator to the base of the dome. From there, climb 300 steps to reach the top (or 551 steps if you opt to skip the elevator). Once at the top, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Rome. Throughout your visit, your audio guide will provide fascinating insights into the history, art, and architecture of St. Peter’s Basilica, making this a truly enriching experience.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
