Step by Step

This tour offers you the opportunity to live two iconic Vatican experiences in one day. The day starts early in the morning, at Piazza del Sant'Uffizio. A host will provide you with an invitation to the papal audience and guide you to St. Peter's Square, ensuring an optimal location to witness this weekly event that includes prayers, blessings and a homily by the Pope.

After the audience, you will have a short break before beginning your guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica, considered one of the most important churches in the world. Your official guide will take you through this Renaissance jewel, highlighting its impressive architecture and the works of art it houses.

Marvel at Michelangelo's Pietà, a sculpture that masterfully captures sorrow and serenity, and Bernini's Baldacchino, an imposing bronze structure that towers over the high altar.

During the tour, you will learn about the history and secrets of the basilica, from its construction to its role today. You will also have the opportunity to admire the magnificent dome designed by Michelangelo, which dominates the skyline of Rome.
