Vatican: St. Peter’s Basilica through Art, Faith & Infinity
Overview
Enter the most iconic and spiritually charged monument in Rome with this all-access, expert-guided experience. With Trip in Art, you’ll explore St. Peter’s Basilica like never before – not just as a visitor, but as a seeker of the profound.
Begin your journey at the summit: climb to the top of Michelangelo’s Dome, rising above the Vatican and offering unmatched panoramic views of Rome. From this sacred height, descend into the majestic interior of the Basilica. Stand in awe before the Pietà, feel the weight of history under Bernini’s Baldachin, and witness the splendor of mosaics, marble, and divine geometry.
Then, continue below the surface — into the Papal Tombs, where centuries of Popes lie in silence, including the apostle Peter himself. Your expert guide will decode the sacred symbolism, history, and artistry that make this experience not just a tour, but a transformation.
