The St. Peter’s Basilica is certainly one of the most famous church all over the world and the symbol of the Vatican City and of the Catholic Church. St. Peter’s Basilica is also known as the Papal Basilica of St. Peter as its history is strongly linked to the history of Rome and of the Vatican State.
The imposing Basilica of St. Peter’s stands at the end of Via della Conciliazione in Rome and overlooks the huge, homonym square and the great Bernini’s Colonnade.

St. Peter’s Basilica is open every day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm from April to September. From October to March, the Basilica closes one hour before, that is at 6:00 pm.
St. Peter’s Basilica is visited every year by millions of visitors and pilgrims and it is therefore very crowded. Visitors usually find long queues to enter the Basilica, that’s the reason we suggest them to book in advance their ticket to visit the St. Peter’s Basilica jumping the line. Entrance to St. Peter is free but in this case visitors risk to stay in line for hours before entering the Basilica.

The cheapest chance to skip the line is booking St. Peter’s ticket combined with the audioguide, the audioguide is available in several languages and offer a very professional comment of St. Peter’s Basilica architectural structure and of the most important art treasures hosted by this great complex.
St. Peter’s Basilica main attractions are the Basilica itself, principally designed by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo and Bernini, Michelangelo’s Dome, Michelangelo’s Pietà, the Papal Tombs and the extraordinary mosaics which decorate most of the inside walls and ceilings of the Basilica.
