Visiting the iconic St. Peter's Basilica Cupola offers breathtaking panoramic views of Vatican City and Rome, making it a must-see for travelers. To access the dome, visitors need St Peter’s Basilica Cupola tickets, which can be purchased on-site at the basilica. There are two ticket options: one for €8, which requires climbing all 551 steps, and another for €10, which includes an elevator ride to the first level, leaving 320 steps to climb. Since tickets are not available online in advance, arriving early is recommended to avoid long queues. The climb is steep and narrow, but the reward is a stunning aerial perspective of St. Peter’s Square and the Eternal City.
