Your visit begins at St. Peter’s Square, where you’ll meet a host assistant who will help you access the Basilica and download the official audio guide to your smartphone. Once inside, marvel at Michelangelo’s Pietà, the grand bronze canopy of Bernini over the Papal Altar, and the intricate mosaics that decorate the massive dome. The audio guide is available in multiple languages and works directly on your device, allowing you to pause and explore each section at your own rhythm. Simply bring your headphones and immerse yourself in the history, art, and spirituality of the Basilica without being tied to a group tour. Please note: security checks are mandatory for all visitors. The ticket does not include access to the Dome or the Vatican Museums.
