Skip the lines and lose yourself in the majesty of one of the world's grandest churches, and head underground for a tour of its cavernous burial chambers. This is where the remains of Saint Peter himself are buried. In the basilica proper you'll see priceless masterpieces by Michelangelo, Bernini and Raphael, and enjoy amazing views of St Peter's Square and more.
Saint Peter was officially Jesus's best pal, and he gets a suitably holy treatment in the magnificent Renaissance church that was built in his honor. With its giant Michelangelo-designed dome, it dominates the Rome skyline – and now's your chance to explore this iconic landmark like never before.
Your guided tour takes you 10 meters below ground, into the heart of the sacred necropolis. This ancient Roman burial site holds graves dating back to the first century! As you peer around its corners, you'll learn all about early Christianity and get to see the final resting place of Saint Peter himself.
When you return to the land of the living, you can enjoy the rest of the basilica at your own pace. The church is filled with priceless art and architectural adornments. You could easily spend a whole day soaking in its incredible Renaissance stylings.
