St Peter’s Basilica Cupola tickets grant visitors access to one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Rome. The climb to the top of Michelangelo’s iconic dome begins with an elevator ride to the terrace, followed by a challenging yet rewarding ascent of around 320 steps through the narrow, winding staircases. From the summit, visitors can admire a stunning 360-degree view of St. Peter’s Square, the Vatican Gardens, and the sprawling cityscape of Rome.
