St. Peter's Basilica Entry, Audioguide & Optional Dome Climb

Discover the largest church ever built the smooth way — with pre-booked entry and a self-guided audioguide that brings St. Peter's Basilica to life at your own pace. No group to follow, no fixed timings: just you, your phone, and expert commentary in your language.

Available in 7 languages English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese the audioguide leads you through the basilica's greatest treasures as you stand before them: Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's soaring bronze Baldachin above the papal altar, the confessio before the tomb of St. Peter, and the Papal Tombs in the grottoes beneath the floor, where dozens of popes rest. Pause whenever you like, replay anything, and linger as long as you wish.

Want to go higher? Add an optional climb to Michelangelo's dome by stairs, or by elevator with a shorter final climb for one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Rome, out across St. Peter's Square and the rooftops of the Eternal City.
