It’s steep and there are steps aplenty, but frequent stops and elevator breaks help take off the strain. At the summit, 360° views of the Vatican City—and far beyond—await you! Take as many photographs as you can because what you’ll see from on high is a once-in-a-lifetime view. Rest for a short while before entering St. Peter’s Basilica, an absolute triumph of art and architecture unmatched anywhere else in the world. We regroup soon thereafter for fast-track entry into the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

Description

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: St. Peter's Square, Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Vatican City Italy

Meet your expert Vatican tour guide on the threshold of St. Peter's Square and make your way across marble paving to the steps which wind up and around the dome. There are 551 in total so of course this is too much exertion for most. We take the elevator part of the way which cuts the step count by a sizable 171, leaving 380.

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
