Visiting hours: Basilica (7am - 7pm), Dome (8am to sunset)
The DOME: For young fit people it probably isn't a problem but if you are over 60 or have any breathing difficulties then beware. There is an elevator that takes you part way up but it still leaves you some 326 steps and some inclines to negotiate. It is a one-way system so if you run into problems you have no choice but to continue (heaven knows what happens if anyone has a heart attack). A number of the passage ways are very narrow with no passing places. However, on a clear day, the view is worth it.
Cost: 7 Euros (elevator), 6 Euros (stairs)
