What visitors are saying
St. peters is the most incredible cathedral I’ve ever witnessed. It is from top to bottom pure perfection! It has gorgeous marble floors with circular dome ceilings letting just the right amount of sunlight in. The walls are perfectly etched and designed to perfection. One thing I thought was nice was that the church actually offers confessions by priests for whoever wishes to go in. It also offers an altar to pray at with benches and pews to kneel.
This massive basilica offers believers, art lovers, and history afficionados a wealth of tremendous artifacts related to the history and culture of the oldest Christian denomination on earth. It is one of many "must see" locations to be found in the Eternal City's vicinity. Set aside plenty of time for the experience.
An amazing thing to behold. If you are visiting Rome, coming into St. Peter's Basilica is an absolute must! It is an incredible building with so many incredible things to see inside. This building is so much bigger and grander than any picture could accurately portray. So spectacular! There is so much history that is in here. It's kind of overwhelming. I would also recommend having a tour guide to go along with so they can accurately explain the history of each of the statues and artifacts.
For sure very impressive place and worth to see if you visit Rome and Vatican. A lot of people there but you can get there for free (only visit the roof is paid option). Even you see big queues you can go inside in few minutes because everything is planned in good way.
