Route

  1. Travelers will begin in the iconic St. Peter’s Square, the grand plaza designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Surrounded by sweeping colonnades and adorned with statues of saints, the square offers an unforgettable first impression of the Vatican and provides context for the history and architecture of St. Peter’s Basilica.

    20 min

  2. Inside the basilica, visitors will explore one of the world’s most important and awe-inspiring churches. Highlights include Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s magnificent bronze Baldachin, the richly decorated chapels, and the vast, ornate nave that showcases centuries of art, architecture, and devotion.

    50 min

  3. Descending beneath the basilica, travelers will visit the Vatican Grottoes, the sacred burial chambers where many popes and notable historical figures rest. Here are the tombs of popes such as John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Paul VI, John Paul I, and older popes such as Leo II. This area offers a powerful insight into the spiritual legacy of the Catholic Church and the deep history beneath St. Peter’s.

About Rome

Rome legt bijna drieduizend jaar geschiedenis in één stad die je te voet beleeft, van Colosseum en Forum tot barokke pleinen en Vaticaanse kunst.

Het oude Rome ligt nog altijd open en bloot. Het Colosseum, het Forum Romanum en de Palatijn staan samen in het hart van de stad, het Pantheon prijkt nog steeds met zijn open oculus en tussen de woonblokken duiken brokstukken van tempels en aquaducten op. Aan de overkant van de Tiber herbergt Vaticaanstad de Sint-Pietersbasiliek, de Vaticaanse Musea en het plafond van Michelangelo's Sixtijnse Kapel.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
