我们去的是冬天下午,天气是阴天,也许因为这些原因,我们到的时候没有排队就上去了。中途可以看到大教堂内部,可以看到贝尔尼尼的教皇祭坛和参观的游客,觉得教堂非常高。中间可以到外面的露台,能看到圣人塑像的后面。接着沿着圆顶外部再上去,楼梯通道壁面也反映了圆顶形状,弯着,有点意思。最后出来,就到了圆顶最高处,能看到圣彼得广场,就是那个很熟悉的景色。也能看到罗马市区的主要建筑,从上面看,风景很不错。

If you visit Basilica San Pietro in Vatican, you must climb into cupola. The view to inside the Basilica is impressive, and if you continue to climb to the top, the view to the city of Rome is spectacular. Good value for money for all these.

I've climbed the dome may times, and it is awesome. Looking at the back of the statues that are on top of open ring that is St Peter's square is weird... They are all different saints or Bible figures, and you have to go up there to see them. My favorite is St Stephen. Yes, all those guys up there near the Dome are people. first, you take an elevator up to above the Bernini sculpture and now you walk one up or down. In the old days, every half hour they would switch, so in the 12 years, they split the spiral walk into up and down. I weigh a lot, but I found I could do it. My 11 year old go nervous because it was so narrow. The view of Rome from up there is absolutely wonderful. We used to eat lunch up there, but now you have stow your pack. But you can see into the other parts of the grounds of the vatican that you can't see normally.

While I was at St. Peters Basicalla, I decided to get the paid ticket to the Cupola. With the ticket they take you to the roof with an elevator but then there is still quite alot of stair up to the top. Though it was a bit tiring, the view from up there was totally worth it, mind blowing! Would definitely recommend this. :)

A huge very luxurious church full of believers that were praying!As soon as you enter, you feel the majesty of the Vatican and why is something so special and unique!

€5 for 500++ steps or €7 for part elevator & 300++ steps. Opt for the latter, unless you enjoy climbing stairs very much. While at it (or rather, while you catch your breath), take a few moments to admire the beautiful cupola from within and view the inside of the Basilica from the top. Then head to the top of the dome for the end reward, of an amazingly breathtaking bird's eye view of the Vatican City and Rome.

We paid a little extra at the ticket desk to have a guide take us up to the top - really was worth the extra money!Catalina was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all the questions we had. Without her we wouldn't have appreciated everything we saw quite as much! Her English was impeccable and she was very accommodating if we wanted to spend longer looking at anything in particular or take pictures. As previous reviews have said, not a place to be claustrophobic or have cardiovascular disease, but the views are spectacular, especially on a sunny morning. The only tip I'd give is to ensure you get here early to beat the queues!

This is a must. You can either walk or take an elevator to the ceiling of St. Peters Basilica. You then take another stair case to the top of the Cupola. It is a narrow slanted staircase. Inhad to place my right hand on the wall to maintain my balance. The view is amazing.

This is great. We took the children (10 and 12) so we took the lift half way and then walked the steps to the top. The price is worth it. The view is awesome. The birds-eye view of St Peters from inside the Cupola is wonderful. The steps are steep and a little squishy in places.

If you are healthy and can climb stairs, I would suggest you take the extra step (or steps) at St. Peter's and climb up to the outdoor viewing area of the dome. My family now has one more unique and memorable experience to share, and the views were very nice.
