    St. Peter's Square

    The Pope imparts the blessing. He may use—with or without the introductory liturgical greeting *Dominus vobiscum*—the pontifical blessing formula that any other bishop may employ. At 12:00 PM the Pope appears at the window of his apartment and, after a brief address, imparts the blessing to those present.

    Inside the church, you can admire masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s *Pietà*; let every detail amaze you. **Even with a "skip-the-line" ticket for St. Peter's Basilica, all visitors must undergo mandatory security checks, which may involve a short wait. The famous and magnificent St. Peter's Basilica stands within Vatican City. With its imposing dome, it is considered the largest church in the world. Ascending the 120-meter-high dome, you will be enchanted by the view over the rooftops of Rome. However, our priority access allows you to save a great deal of time.
