The Vatican with the TouringBee audio guide: what to see in St. Peter’s Basilica

With the TouringBee audio guide, a walk through the Vatican feels like a coherent story. Step by step, the motives of the people who shaped this place, unlike any other in Rome, are revealed. The stories explain the decisions that led to the creation of a state the size of a neighbourhood and highlight small details that are often lost among marble surfaces. This approach helps You understand what to see in the Vatican when You want more than postcard views.

• A country the size of a neighbourhood — but with the character of a great power. A history with an unexpectedly strong backbone.
• Would You believe that one person could change the morals of an entire era?
• Guards as strict as an old engraving: bright colours, precise rules, and not a step out of line.
• Are You sure You see two rows? Come closer — perspective likes to play tricks on visitors here.
• How does one become Pope? A tradition with more human hesitation than solemn formulas.
• The legend of the bronze canopy, once the subject of jokes that the Pope might not have appreciated.
• Did You think all Popes are the same? This selection of personalities quickly challenges that idea.
• The story of a sculpture with too much emotion for cold stone.
• Did You think days could not simply be removed? One man decided they could be. And he convinced the entire world.
• A royal dynasty forced to seek its final refuge far from its native kingdoms.
