Dome of St. Peter's Basilica: the best view of Rome

The first years of life in Rome, the idea of ​​climbing the dome of St. Peter's Basil was constantly, but constantly postponed. Followers of my Instagram know that I conduct individual tours at dawn to enjoy Rome without crowds of tourists, and there are always enough of them on the main square of the Vatican.
