5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Although the queue may appear long, it goes quickly and it is extremely spacious inside, with no sense of being crowded at all.

Visit later in the day and midweek as quieter.

Take the lift to to roof for views across Rome

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Preorder entrance tickets, even then be prepared to queue. For hours.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Big queues to enter and pretty much a shuffling queue inside even though it was very late afternoon. All the side altars and statues curtained off, not allowed to sit down....if you’ve been before don’t go again because your memory will be spoiled.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

booked a guided tour beforehand so avoided the queues
