If you are in Rome, you cannot miss the splendid Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore! Located in the heart of the city, this basilica is one of the four most important in Rome and is a true treasure of art and spirituality. The interior enchants visitors with golden mosaics, magnificent ceilings, and artworks that tell centuries of history. Marvel at the evocative Sistine Chapel (different from the one in the Vatican Museums!) and be amazed by the sacred relic of the Cradle of Jesus. Every year, on August 5th, the famous "miraculous snowfall" is celebrated with a shower of white petals.

The audioguide also offers explanations of some areas of the Liberian Museum Complex that are usually not open to the public, such as the Loggia of Blessings, the Hall of Popes, and the Bernini Staircase. To visit these reserved areas, it is necessary to purchase an additional entrance ticket, available at the Welcome Desk according to current availability.

Admission to the museum takes place at a specific date and time. Select the time slot from which the specific entry time will be selected based on the museum's availability.

PLEASE NOTE: The purchase of an entrance ticket with audioguide does not include access to the Liberian Museum Complex.

The audioguide must be returned to the Welcome Desk no later than 60 minutes after your reservation time.
