Explore the Secrets Beneath St. Peter’s Basilica

Venture into the Scavi excavations, the ancient necropolis beneath St. Peter’s Basilica, and visit the sacred tomb of St. Peter, reopened in 2026 after the Holy Year 2025. Accessible to only 200 visitors a day, this exclusive tour takes small groups of up to 15 guests through narrow passageways, uncovering centuries of history, the burial sites of early Popes, and fascinating archaeological discoveries that reveal the foundations of Christianity.

Descend into the crypt, explore the Popes’ tombs, then rise to enjoy St. Peter’s Basilica at your own pace—skipping the usual 2+ hour lines. This immersive journey combines archaeology, art, and spirituality, offering a rare and unforgettable perspective on one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
