   St. Peter's Basilica

   (excluding Wednesdays)When available, continue through the privileged Scala Regia passageway into St. Peter’s Basilica. This exclusive route connects the Vatican Museums directly to the basilica and makes the transition smoother. End your tour inside St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the most significant churches in Christianity. After the guided portion, you’re free to admire the chapels, sculptures, vast nave, and sacred atmosphere at your own pace. Please note: St. Peter’s Basilica is not accessible on Wednesdays due to the Papal Audience and may close unexpectedly on other days. In such cases, your guide will adapt the itinerary to ensure a full and enriching experience elsewhere within the Vatican.
