Gaze in awe at the Dome of the Basilica, the highest architectural point in Rome, and take in the breathtaking views of the Eternal City. Explore the Vatican Gardens, the roof of the Sistine Chapel, and the chimney of the papal conclave, while your guide narrates the history of the mesmerizing architecture.

Ride the elevator to the base of the cupola, and then take the stairs to the very top for stunning views of the city.
