If you are planning to visit Rome and have St. Peter’s Basilica on your itinerary, you may be wondering about climbing up to the iconic dome and enjoying panoramic views of the Eternal City. But how much will it cost? Let’s find out!

Option 1: The elevator option

If you prefer to take the elevator and save yourself some effort, there is an option to ascend the dome. The cost for using the elevator is €10 for adults and €8 for children aged 6-17. Keep in mind that children under 6 are not allowed to use the elevator due to safety reasons. With the elevator, you can reach the first level of the dome.

Option 2: The stairs option

If you are up for a challenge and want to experience the climb firsthand, you can also opt for the stairs. Be prepared, as there are 551 steps to reach the top! However, by choosing the stairs, you will pay a reduced fee. The cost to climb the dome without using the elevator is €8 for adults and €6 for children aged 6-17.

It’s important to note that the cost of climbing the dome does not include entry to St. Peter’s Basilica itself. To access the basilica, you can enter for free through the main entrance. However, if you want to explore the basilica’s treasures and marvel at its stunning artwork, you may consider purchasing a separate ticket. The cost for a ticket to visit the basilica’s interior is €6 for adults and €4 for children aged 6-17.
