Activity itinerary

St. Peter's Basilica

  • 1h

Few buildings in the world carry the weight of St. Peter's Basilica. Standing at the heart of Vatican City, it is simultaneously the spiritual centre of the Catholic Church, the largest Christian church ever built, and one of the most audacious architectural undertakings in human history. To walk across the travertine stones of St. Peter's Square and approach that vast façade is to feel centuries of ambition pressing against the Roman sky.

Vatican Grottoes

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Bypass the long general admission lines outside and head straight inside St. Peter’s Basilica with exclusive skip-the-line access. Once inside, you will use your smartphone to download the digital audio guide, put in your headphones, and explore the subterranean Vatican Grottoes entirely at your own comfortable pace.
