After our underground tour it was time to find our way to the top. Climbing to the top of the Duomo seemed easy enough. Fast directions to the entrance point, virtually no line and a lift. (Yes!) A few more easy steps beyond that and we had made it.
The view from inside of the Dome of St. Peter's Basillica is beautiful. The people below look like tiny ants, the artwork is of the same grand scale, and seeing the color from this angle is even more brilliant. It is very cool to see all the mosiacs lining the walls up close.

Up a winding staircase that grew more windy as we progressed. At one point the staircase was so narrow you had to hold a rope that ran up the center to hold on. This took us to the outside top of the dome. The view from the top was a fun perspective. (Very windy though!) You could see all of Rome and all the detail within the walls of Vatican City. So beautiful...
