Description

Visit St. Peter's Square, the crown jewel of Vatican City, to learn about its architecture and the optical illusions envisioned by Bernini.

Your guide will point out the two 'secret' spots within the square's expanse and the artwork inside St. Peter's Basilica.

The tour guide will escort you through the Basilica's standout features, including the incredible Papal Altar nestled under Bernini's Baldachin.

Next, venture into the Papal Grottoes, the expansive crypt tucked beneath the Basilica and a sight not to be missed. Also, you get a chance to climb to the dome.
