Overview

Step inside the heart of Vatican City with skip-the-line hosted entry to St. Peter’s Basilica — the largest church in the world and a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Your friendly host will greet you at Piazza Risorgimento (Bar l’Ottagono), escort you past the queues, and set you up with an immersive audio guide available in multiple languages.

Marvel at Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s towering Baldachin, and the breathtaking mosaics that adorn the dome.
