Let's Climb the Dome of St Peter's Basilica! Step by step - literally!
One of my favorite things to do at the Vatican is to climb to the top of Michelangelo's dome.

The views of Rome from the lantern are unparalleled! Yes, it's a big climb but you CAN opt to take a list part of the way (and yes, someone in a wheelchair can take the elevator to this level, too.)

Then, step inside the stunning dome of Saint Peter's Basilica and see the shimmering mosaics up close.

And if you're up for it, climb the next 231 steps all the way to the lantern on the tippy top and get some of THE BEST VIEWS of Rome!
