Overview

Enjoy a visit to the famous Cupola of St. Peter's Basilica: the highest point of the city of Rome.

Use the Basilica’s elevator to reach the base of the Cupola (you will avoid 171 steps!). From this point, you’ll have amazing views of the interior of the Basilica. Then reach the very top (named “La Lanterna”) where you can admire spectacular views of the Eternal City that just aren’t available anywhere else. Enjoy the Vatican Gardens, the roof of the Sistine Chapel, and the chimney of the Pope's election. All the time hearing about St. Peter's on your audio guide.

Then, enjoy a self-guided audio tour of the St. Peter's Basilica on while listening to your audio commentary.
