Let's go with what didn't work. Was expecting it to be a skip the line ticket but we ended up queueing for ages to get into the lift. Partly because they wanted to let all 96 people in at once and also because they kept letting other people jump the queue once we had tickets . With that and the security queue it took between one hour thirty and two hours to get up the dome. Disappointing. We only knew what was going on as we were at the front of the queue the "guides" didn't seem to be communicating with anyone in the queue.

Es wäre nicht nötig gewesen, soviel Geld (29,-Euro) dafür auszugeben. Letztlich wurden wir von der Reiseleiterin durch den - kostenlosen - Sicherheitscheck und zum Kassenhäuschen für die Kuppel (wäre nur 8,- resp 10,- Euro gewesen) begleitet. Der Audioguide war OK, ist dann aber mit fast 20,-Euro doch sehr teuer. Aber letztlich war alles drin und hat geklappt.

Everything was so easy. Good location to meet up just behind collonade on Surgo S. Spirito. Juice n pastry at start. We were escorted straight to lift or stairs depending on how you were going. Audioguide was good too.

Nette Begleitung durch 3 junge Frauen. Diese konnten sich jedoch schlecht gegen die Aufsichtspersonen (zum Lift) durchsetzen. Viel zu lange Wartezeit vor Lift, würde ich niemals mehr so buchen.

This self guided tour was very well organised. The meeting place was clear, the check-in was easy and they made sure we gained entry and got started and on our way. The audio guide was excellent too.

Your experience

Prepare yourself for a journey through the heart of Papal history, Roman architecture, and Christian symbolism at St. Peter's Basilica and its Dome!

Best of Basilica from the Dome

Your adventure begins with an elevator ride to Cupola's base. The frescos, Corinthian pillars, cornices, and frieze, all set the stage for an extraordinary ascend to the base. The base gives you the best views of the sacred spaces of the Basilica—the 95-ft bronze baldachin covering the Papal Altar or St. Peter’s tomb. Be captivated by the craftsmanship of Ambrogio Buonvicino's bronze statues of the Apostles Peter and Paul, standing as guardians of this sacred space. Don’t miss Bernini's stained-glass window, casting an ethereal glow over the gilded Apse. But the real highlight? Pope Clement VIII's meticulously adorned dome. From the outstretched hand of Christ to the busts of Popes and apostles, every detail narrates Michelangelo's vision and Rome's spiritual and artistic heritage.

Views from Rome’s Highest Peak

Ascend to Cupola's peak, called "La Lanterna," for panoramic views of the Eternal City. From the Vatican Gardens to the Tiber River, view Rome's iconic landmarks from a whole new perspective. Catch a glimpse of the formidable Castel Sant'Angelo, Victor Emmanuel II Monument, and the Pantheon’s dome.

Our audio guide, available in seven languages, will be your trusted companion as you start this artistic and spiritual exploration of St. Peter's Basilica and Dome.
