St Peter's Basilica with Official App

Enjoy the magnificent architecture and artworks of this remarkable church. The app tour lasts an hour and is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Portuguese. You'll have the freedom to explore at your own pace and in the order you decide - but be sure not to miss Michelangelo's "Pietà", the high altar and Bernini's "Baldachin", or the Chapel of the Confession!

This tour includes the use of an official app in one of eleven languages for the Basilica; after you've been admitted to the Basilica you'll be given a code to use for downloading the tour into the app - please search your App Store for the 'VOX City' app and install it in advance of your visit. Earphones are not included - you can bring your own or purchase them at the desk for €1. The tour doesn't include entrance to the Sistine Chapel or the Cupola, hotel transfers or any optional activities.

The tour lasts approximately one hour and you may visit anytime during the time selected, with two morning slots and two afternoon slots - if you're flexible (always a good idea at the ever-busy Vatican!) then please select an option, letting us know that you'd be willing to accept a time in the morning, in the afternoon, or at any time of the day. There are a few restrictions on holidays, Wednesdays and Sundays - you'll see which times are available on your chosen date during the checkout process.

On Wednesday mornings, access to the Basilica and St Peter's Square may restricted due to the Papal Audience.
