Join a 1.5-hour guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, an icon of faith, history, and art. Begin at St. Peter’s Square, designed by Bernini, where the grand colonnades embrace visitors and an ancient Egyptian obelisk stands as a symbol of enduring faith. Inside the basilica, admire its vast, light-filled interior and uncover layers of history—from Constantine’s 4th-century shrine to the Renaissance vision of Bramante, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Pause at Michelangelo’s Pietà, a moving marble masterpiece sculpted when he was just 24. Marvel at Bernini’s towering bronze Baldacchino, marking the tomb of St. Peter beneath the high altar. Finally, descend into the Vatican grottoes to reflect in the presence of papal tombs, including that of John Paul II. This tour offers deep insight into the Basilica’s spiritual, artistic, and architectural legacy.
