St. peter's basilica dome

The adventure to climb St. Peters Dome is a journey of high emotions and unforgettable sight that provides a very special view of the Vatican city e Roma. Once you have climbed up the first flight of steps, by elevator or on foot, you arrive at an intermediate position within the dome, where you can see the magnificent interior mosaics at close quarters. In this perspective, it becomes evident how enormous the building is because of the ornamental features and Latin texts defining the artistic and symbolic richness of the Basilica.

As you go further up the stairs, the aisles become smaller and more like the air, which creates an element of excitement to the journey. The noise of the city is gradually replaced by the changes of a sense of elevation and focused silence. It is a satisfying moment to arrive at the panoramic terrace. It is here that you have a panoramic view of the whole city of Roma, the old rooftops, the meandering river Tevere, il Giardini Vaticani and when the weather is clear, even the hills that encircle the capital.
