Taking a Vatican Necropolis tour is an enlightening experience as you can explore the detailed network of mausoleums and tombs that lie directly beneath St. Peter’s Basilica.
Special visits to the necropolis underneath the Basilica, where the tomb of St. Peter is located, are only possible following special permission granted from time to time by the “Fabbrica di San Pietro”. Visits are organized according to the schedule set by the Excavations Office.
What more important place in the entire Vatican City than the supposed final resting place of St Peter? Not as famous as the museums, the Basilica or the Sistine Chapel, a Vatican necropolis tour is well worth the money. It’s an exclusive experience, with entry on special agreement only.
