When in Rome…check out the view from St Peter’s dome




Without doubt one of the most impressive cathedrals that we have visited on the trip is St. Peter’s Basilica. It is quite amazing, particularly Michelangelo’s work on the dome.

We decided to go up to the top of the dome so that we could enjoy the stunning 360-degree view of Rome. The stairs up to the top were a particularly narrow passageway sloped around on a bizarre angle following the roof of the dome. It was all too claustrophobic for one tourist who was left bawling her eyes out in a corner.
