Itinerary
When you arrive at St. Peter’s Square, you need to pass through a metal detector before entering St. Peter’s Basilica. The Tomb of Saint Peter is located beneath the basilica.
St. Peter's Baldachin is a monumental Baroque canopy designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and completed in 1634. Made of bronze and rising above the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, it marks the traditional site of St. Peter’s tomb and serves as a dramatic focal point of the church.
The Tomb of Saint Peter is traditionally believed to be the burial place of Saint Peter, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles, located beneath St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. It is an important Christian pilgrimage site and is associated with the origins of the basilica.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
