Your experience

All the action is centered on the fabulous St.

Peter’s Square, the most popular square in Vatican City, which has the famous Egyptian obelisk at its center over 2,500 years old.

Your visit will start from St.

Peter’s Square to admire the imposing architecture of the structure.

You’ve got to understand what visual effects his designer, Bernini, planned and you’ve got to spot in which corner of the square those two popular places are.

There are paintings everywhere and when you first step into the Basilica itself, your head is going to go wild with those beautiful works of art on the walls.

You are really tripped out as you walk on these lively marble floors and get your mind boggled by how big this place is and how every inch of the thing is covered in gold.

Main features about this monumental site will be shared by your guide, telling information about Papal Altar beneath Bernini’s Baldachin and Michelangelo’s La Pietà would tap into any debate surrounding the significance of this church that is most important in Christian world.

While you’re at it, visit the Papal Grottoes – a huge crypt three meters under the Basilica, directly underneath the main altar in the central nave.

There are sepulchers dating back to the 11th century where many Popes, and some royals rested in peace.

Take a good spin round that 360 degrees of marble floors before inspecting those mosaics in the dome that were fashioned by Michelangelo.

Look down from the top of the Vatican and enjoy these beautiful wide views of the city which mostly incorporate the Vatican Gardens.

Have your camera ready for those great wide scenes.
