Is that all the way from the ground? There’s an option to buy a ticket for a lift to the roof but you still gotta climb the rest.
Yes this was on the descent. There are a ton of stairs and it’s very claustrophobic but if you can tough it out the view is worth it!
I didn’t keep track of time but I’d say maybe 20-30 minutes. It was a really long time with tight spiral staircases. Even as a fit 30 year old I felt like it was tough
You’re allowed, they charge €10 for a ticket (or €15 if you want to take an elevator the first 1/3 of the way up.)

Those 555 steps are worth it
Is that all the way from the ground?

Exactly. The 555 steps start after the elevator!
Did you get to the top of the dome?
Yes this was on the descent. There are a ton of stairs and it’s very claustrophobic but if you can tough it out the view is worth it!
How long does it take to get up?
I didn’t keep track of time but I’d say maybe 20-30 minutes. It was a really long time with tight spiral staircases. Even as a fit 30 year old I felt like it was tough
So amazing,
I saw a nun looking at st peters so lovingly at sunset and it touched my heart.
Casually climbed it like it was just another set of stairs on the way to pizza.

I skipped it due to solo traveling
What kind of excuse is that?
I was hiking Africa right after
