St. Peter's Basilica: Entry Ticket + Guided Tour

Join a guide on a tour through the Vatican, starting in St. Peter’s Square, where the Obelisk stands. Go down into the Vatican Grottoes to see the tombs of past popes, then visit St. Peter’s Basilica. The guide will explain the Baldachin, Michelangelo’s Pietà, and the Statue of St. Peter. Look up at the Dome to see the size of this space, and get close to the Basilica. Learn about the Papal States, the traditions of the Jubilee Year, and see the Holy Door, which is opened only once every 25 years. With the Holy Door set to open in 2025, this is your chance to see Vatican history and beauty up close.
