What days and at what times can I visit St. Peter's Church?

In general, the church is open from Monday to Sunday, with split hours in the morning (approx. 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) and afternoon (4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.). I recommend always checking the updated opening hours here before you go, as they may vary depending on the season or religious holidays.

How much does admission cost, or is entry free?

Access to the tourist complex is usually paid in order to ensure its conservation, with prices around €9–10 if you include the full visit (Mausoleum, Church, Cloister, and Tower). There are reduced rates for children and seniors that you can check on their official website.

▶

How much time should I set aside for the full visit?

To enjoy the architecture and history without rushing, I recommend setting aside between 45 and 60 minutes. If you love details and want to listen to the full audio guide at a relaxed pace, plan for an hour and a half.

What is the best time of day or the best season to visit?
