Description

Discover the wonders of St. Peter's Basilica and its iconic dome on a self-guided audio tour in Vatican City, Rome. Begin your experience by ascending to the dome, where breathtaking panoramic views of Rome and Vatican Gardens await you from 136 meters above the city.

As you climb, your audio guide reveals fascinating stories about the basilica's history and its stunning mosaics. From the dome, take in sweeping sights of St. Peter's Square, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the distant Colosseum, immersing yourself in Rome's timeless skyline.

After descending, explore the basilica's grand interior at your own pace. The audio tour highlights masterpieces like Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldacchino, while guiding you through centuries of religious and artistic heritage. A digital map and 27 listening points ensure you won't miss any treasures.

Your ticket includes entry to the dome with elevator access to the first level, multilingual audio guides, and a digital Vatican map. Enjoy a complimentary Sicilian cannolo at a local café by showing your voucher. Assistance is provided at the meeting point, and tours are available in several languages for groups of up to 15.

Please note, the experience lasts about three hours and involves climbing steps, so it may not be suitable for young children, elderly visitors, or those with mobility concerns. Dress modestly to comply with Vatican requirements, and allow extra time for security checks during busy periods. Secure your spot now and experience Rome's most awe-inspiring views firsthand!
