  • St. Peter's Square
    St. Peter the Apostle — One of Jesus’ closest disciples, St. Peter is considered the first pope and the rock upon which the Catholic Church was built.

Revered as a symbol of faith and leadership, his life and legacy continue to inspire millions of pilgrims from around the world.
  • St. Peter's Basilica
    Begin your journey in St. Peter’s Square, where the majesty of its architecture will leave you in awe. Experience Bernini’s brilliant mastery of perspective as you discover the two perfect vantage points of the square, and admire the ancient 2,500-year-old Egyptian obelisk — a silent witness to centuries of history. Then, step inside the Basilica to uncover its most stunning treasures. Stroll across the vivid marble floors, gaze up at the gold-adorned ceilings, and feel the immense scale of the world’s largest church. Admire the grandeur of the Papal Altar crowned by Bernini’s magnificent Baldachin, and stand before Michelangelo’s unforgettable masterpiece, the Pietà. Your visit concludes with a descent to the Papal Grottoes — a sacred crypt lying three meters beneath the Basilica, directly below the great altar. Here rest generations of popes and venerated figures, offering a deeply moving connection to the history and legacy of the Catholic Church.
  • St. Peter's Basilica
    Marvel at Michelangelo’s Dome — Soaring high above the Basilica, the iconic dome of St. Peter’s is a masterpiece of Renaissance engineering and design. From the floor of the church, gaze upward at its breathtaking mosaics and the intricate details that draw the eye toward the heavens. As one of the most recognized symbols of Vatican City, the dome not only crowns the Basilica’s grandeur but also serves as a stunning testament to Michelangelo’s genius and the artistry of the era.
  • The Tomb of St. Peter — Located directly beneath the Papal Altar, the tomb is traditionally believed to be the final resting place of St. Peter, the Apostle and first pope of the Catholic Church. This sacred site has drawn pilgrims for centuries, offering a profound spiritual connection to the very foundations of Christianity. Surrounded by ancient walls and rich with history, it remains one of the most venerated spots in the entire Basilica.
