The Journey
St. Peter's Square

This iconic space, framed by colossal colonnades and adorned with fountains and statues, serves as the grand entrance to St. Peter's Basilica. Feel the palpable sense of history and faith as you stand in the shadow of the obelisk at its center, a silent witness to centuries of papal celebrations and gatherings. It's the perfect starting point for your Vatican adventure, setting the stage for the artistic and spiritual wonders that await.
St. Peter's Dome
Ascend to the summit of St. Peter's Dome, a marvel of Renaissance engineering and a symbol of Vatican City. Take an elevator part of the way, then climb the remaining steps, spiraling through the inner shell of the dome, for an unforgettable physical and spiritual experience. Reaching the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Rome. The dome itself, designed in part by Michelangelo, is an architectural masterpiece, and the climb offers a unique perspective on its grandeur and the city beyond.
Papal Tombs (Vatican Grottoes)
Descend beneath St. Peter's Basilica into the Vatican Grottoes, a subterranean complex housing the tombs of popes throughout history. Wander through this solemn and historically rich space, where elaborate sarcophagi and monuments honor the lives and legacies of these spiritual leaders. This underground necropolis provides a unique glimpse into the Vatican's deep history and offers a poignant reflection on faith, power, and the passage of time.
