A true trip to Rome cannot fail to let you discover the beauty of St Peter’s Basilica.

If you choose to spend a wonderful trip to Rome with Ticket To Ride, a visit to St Peter’s Basilica, in Vatican City, cannot be missed. It is certainly the largest of the four papal basilicas of Rome (measuring 218 meters in length, 133.30 meters in height up to the dome, with a total surface area of 23,000 square meters), considered by many to be the largest in the world as it is the center of Catholicism. Thanks to this important role, it is the site of the Pope’s solemn ceremonies at Christmas, Easter, the canonization of Saints and much more.
A true trip to Rome must include the discovery of this wonderful Basilica, an open air work of art. The entire perimeter can be explored, and in the atrium before the entrance there are two equestrian statues, Charlemagne by Cornacchini (1725) and Constantine by Bernini (1670); above the main entrance, before the five doors, you can see the Mosaic of the Navicella of the Apostles by Giotto (placed there in 1674); in the right nave is Michelangelo’s Pietà (1499), while in the left nave you will find the Tomb of Maria Clementina Sobieski, the Monument to the Stuarts, the Tomb of Leo XI and much more; not to mention the Ambulatory, as designed by Michelangelo.
