Free entry to the first 2 visited museums and archaeological sites. Free admission includes exhibition in the museum. Reduced ticket to all other museums and/or archaeologic sites visited thereafter.
Go late at night for a sense of things without the usual crowd of tourists. Can't walk all the way in as the police block it, but that close look at St Peter's cathedral by night is well worth it.
Vatican and many beautiful historical and religious sites. Don't forget 2 bring ur best camera and bottled water. U can find a shop selling all about vatican's goods at the left corner of da entrance.
Magnificent square ...very impressive !!!! Go to see the Pope when give the blessing to the crowds-Sundays at 12 noon - busy but it was amazing.Truly a moving and powerful experience!
The trapezoid & the oval colonnade of the piazza, forming the teatro of San Pietro as conceived by Alexander VII Chigi & Bernini together, form a.i.w. the arms of the basilica, embracing the faithful.
Beautiful architecture, the Basilica is huge and absolutely stunning! The visit is free don't buy the "Skip the line" tickets from the people selling them on the way there, it's not worth it.
Pro tip: if you don't have reserved tickets for the Wednesday audience with the pope in the piazza, talk with a Swiss Guard they might give you one 👌🏼🇨🇭🇻🇦
Entering just Piazza San Pietro is free if you are patient enough to stand in the line. However, if you wish to tour the chapel and museum as well, start your way from the museum.
Huge piazza in front of saint Peter's basilica. On the left as you see the church are the swiss guards of pope. After a visit to the church, take photos and admire one of the greatest squares ever!
Absolutely amazing.On wednesdays you can see the pope.The queue is so long you can wait for hours to go inside the cathedral.Better later in the evening.
Crowded due to security checks; better reach there early morning. Get into the church and climb to dome. Afterwards visit vatican museums at noon. So that it gets less crowded.
The grand plaza in front of the Basilica. Get there early to see it without a crowd or queues - the sheer size will be enough to impress you, before you even see the rest of the attractions!
THE Roman Catholic church. The climb to the cupola (dome) is a truly surreal and interesting experience. Beehive tip: use the elevator – even with the help of the elevator it’s quite a climb.
For an interesting perspective on the square, find the round plaques that read "Centro del Colonnato" (there are two) — you'll see all the column rows on your side lined up perfectly, like one column.
Great place. You have to wait very long in the queue to get in, but it is it worth. And if you get in, buy a ticket and go straight to the top, trust me.
Magnificent square! Many believers are coming here and it looks great. Edges of the square present hands of the God who hugs his kids. Perfect work of Michelangelo.
If you are at San Pietro, the best place to go for an ice cream, coffee, snack or pastries is Pappagallo Bar. It's just around the corner from you. Search on 4 square for the location.
Great space which holds a lot of meaning in it. When we visited there was something going on there, as there were chairs and music, but very interesting to see
There are two marble spots either side of the obelisk in the middle of the square. If you can stand and look at the colonnade from here, you can only see the one pillar in each row.
I had the chance to attend both the Christmas Eve's mass led by the Pope, and the 'Urbi et Orbi" blessing on Christmas Day. Two unforgettable experiences within a magnificent place.
Bernini's colonnades are simultaneously intricate and monumental. I got a kink in my neck just looking at them for too long. Rome's density of masterpieces is comparable to few other cities.
Go to the top I walked all the steps and YES it is exhausting but totally worth the view! Amazing view from the very top! Loved it want to go back all ready!
If you visit St.Peter's Basilica cupola (dome), pay the extra 1Euro for the elevator to the inside roof. It's a really tough climb. For the top outside view it's a further climb of steps 320 steps.
Free Tours of St. Peter's Basilica: M-F 2:15pm inside the left information room attached to the Vatican Post Office! Tours are only given during the school year.
Paulus V Borghese ordered the construction of the northern fountain by Maderno in 1615, which was mirrored by Bernini, who made the fountains to appear to be the foci of the ovato tondo, in 1675.
Participate in a guided tour. It's worth its money (40eur). You see everything and you dont have to wait for hours. Get a guide that speeks your or good english.
One of the most beautiful in the world. The first basilica of St Peter had been built by order of emperor Constantine on the spot of Peter’s tomb, near the circus of Nero where he had been martyrized. Managed by the Rome's Tourism Dept. in collaboration with //Avanti Concept Agency
