St Peter’s Basilica

Robbers!! Who goes into the most holy location arguably in Europe & has their money stolen? Pay by card everywhere, all the electronic candle racks give you the option to select €3, €10 & €20? Choose your option, tap your card, then NOTHING!! NONE of the candles work!! Keep trying the switches, no - NOTHING. FURIOUS 😡 How many people have put money into that bank account in the hope of that glow of symbolism lighting up to memorialise their loved ones. Such a splendid place to remember cherished ones, lost or sick, to be let down by the most holy Christian church in the land. No member of staff was interested in the above, just happy for the Pope’s team to carry on the corruption of innocent people losing their money & their faith in such an unscrupulous organisation.

Was lovely to go to the area of Saint Peter’s Basilica and see the lovely architecture. We hadn’t booked tickets to go into the Basilica and it was such a hot day with absolutely massive cues. We decided not to go inside. We just walked all the way round outside., there were still lots of cool things to see. If I were returning, I would book tickets in advance and to get ones where you jump the queue. If you don’t like crowds, then you wouldn’t enjoy this place.

Visited here in the afternoon of July-2, 2026. The most magnificently decorated and architected basilica that I've ever visited. Totally worth it.

The visit to the basilica is free and it opens at 7am. We arrived at 6:45 and the queue was starting to form to go through security, but it wasn’t crowded and, since July is hot, we beat the heat. It was a great visit and well worth it.
