    St. Peter's Basilica

    Experience a 1.5-hour guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the world’s most renowned religious and artistic landmarks. Begin in St. Peter’s Square, framed by Bernini’s majestic colonnades and anchored by an ancient Egyptian obelisk symbolizing enduring faith. Step inside the basilica to explore its awe-inspiring interior, shaped by centuries of devotion and genius—from Constantine’s early church to the Renaissance masterpieces of Bramante, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Stand before Michelangelo’s Pietà, sculpted in his youth, and admire Bernini’s towering bronze Baldacchino above St. Peter’s tomb. Conclude your visit in the Vatican grottoes, home to the tombs of popes, including John Paul II. This enriching tour reveals the Basilica’s profound spiritual, artistic, and historical significance.
