About this experience
Prepare for an exciting tour of St. Peter's Basilica! Start at the impressive St. Peter's Square and make your way to the basilica entrance.
Start your day taking a quick elevator ride up St. Peter's Dome to the panoramic terrace alongside your guide, then opt to climb to the top by stairs for amazing views.
After visiting the Dome, come back down and enjoy free time inside the Basilica to visit the Baldacchino, the Statue of St. Peter, and the *Pietà*.
Pay respects to the tombs of past popes before wrapping up your visit to this holy place.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
