Vatican St Peter Basilica Family Treasure Hunt 90 min

Turn a visit to the Vatican into a family adventure with this 90-minute St. Peter’s Basilica treasure hunt. In St. Peter’s Square, your guide, the hunt master, introduces the Egyptian obelisk and Bernini’s sweeping colonnade before leading the way inside the world-famous church.

Explore the Basilica’s statues, decorations, and Renaissance and Baroque art, including Bernini’s bronze canopy and Michelangelo’s Pietà. Along the route, children and adults can search for clues, answer quizzes, solve riddles, and uncover hidden corners while learning about the church’s history. The hunt continues into the Grottoes beneath the Basilica, where stories of popes and saints bring the site’s past to life. Compete for points, and the winner receives a prize. Admission to the Basilica is included; a ticket for St. Peter’s Dome is not and can be purchased on site for €10 per person.

Make your Vatican visit more engaging for the whole family with this St. Peter’s Basilica treasure hunt, then stay to attend Mass or arrange a separate visit to the dome.
