St. Peter’s Basilica is great and truly big monument, the most important catholic ornament on the earth.

Good thing is that there is no entrance fee to the Basilica, but entrance queues are a big headache.

The only advice from my side is to get early to the Square and be in-between the first ones to visit Basilica. If you have intention visiting the Dome, visit the Dome first. As you’ll enter to the sight turn right in front of Basilica and you will be able to buy the tickets and get to the roof and the Dome without queuing; after that visit Basilica, and the last would be the visit to Papal Tombs.

Visit to the Dome is 7,00 Euros and you cannot buy the tickets in advance. In the morning line is short and there is no need to wait more than 5 minutes. Later, during the day, waiting time climes to 30-60 minutes.
