This is probably the most spectacular church or basilica I’ve ever been to. The art is truly breathtaking and you’ll need at least a couple of hours to explore it all. We arrived at around 8am on a Thursday after buying tickets the previous day and there were no queues. Climbing to the top is also worth it for the view but be warned there are quite a few steps. This place is a must visit if you’re in Rome.

Visiting Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City is an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Rome. It is one of the most famous and revered churches in the world, known as a major pilgrimage site and a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture designed by famous artists including Michelangelo, Bramante, and Bernini.  You can walk through its vast, stunning interior to admire incredible artwork such as Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s Baldachin over the main altar, and many other artistic treasures.  The basilica stands on the traditional burial site of Saint Peter, one of Jesus’s apostles and the first Bishop of Rome, which gives the place deep spiritual significance for many visitors.  Entrance to the basilica itself is free, though there is a fee if you choose to climb up to the dome for spectacular panoramic views of St. Peter’s Square and Rome.  It is open daily in the morning until early evening (generally around 7 AM to 7 PM in summer), and arriving early helps you enjoy the space with fewer crowds.  The surrounding St. Peter’s Square is also an architectural marvel and a great place to explore before or after your visit. Many travelers find that spending a couple of hours here gives a rich mix of art, history, spirituality, and breathtaking beauty, making Saint Peter’s Basilica a highly recommended must-see for anyone visiting Rome.
