Rome Vatican City Saint Peter Basilica Climb Dome Breakfast Tour
Overview
Visit the Vatican before the crowds descend. Discover St. Peter's Square, the most famous square in the world, surrounded by Bernini's imposing colonnade, composed of 284 columns, on top of which stand 140 statues, and admire the Vatican obelisk.
Reach the first level of the Dome and go to the panoramic balcony. Enter the Dome, admire the incredible mosaics, and see Bernini's Baldachin. Continue climbing the spiral staircase and, from the highest point in Rome, admire breathtaking 360-degree views.
Reach the roof of the Basilica and have breakfast with a cappuccino and a Cornetto.
After breakfast, reach the Portico of the Basilica, where you can pick up your audio guide to discover the interior.
This colossal Basilica, erected on the burial place of St. Peter, houses many masterpieces of the most influential artists: admire Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's Baldachin, and the tombs of the Popes. Descend into the crypts, where you can visit the tomb of St. Peter.
