About this experience

With your skip-the-line entry ticket, you’ll enjoy priority access to both the awe-inspiring upper church and the enigmatic underground Papal Grottoes. Discover its rich history, admire remarkable architecture, and marvel at Renaissance masterpieces at your own pace, including an exclusive visit to the papal tombs.
