45 reviews of Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica

Beautiful views from above

After waiting in line for an hour we were able to enter the Vatican. I was not very keen on paying, but hey, it was worth it. I will tell you how we got to the Dome of St. Peter. You enter through a courtyard where you also will also wait for the lifts. After there are a few more stairs which are not suitable for asthmatics or very elderly. But from above, if you're able to elbow a few people out of your way (long live cordiality in holy places), you will get great photos of the square and the views of Rome.

Not for the faint of heart

Access to the Basilica is free but if you want to visit the dome you have to pay between 5 and 7 Euros depending on whether you want to take the stairs or the elevator and then the stairs. I can say that the views are spectacular but hiking the 320 steps will leave you winded!
