Santa Maria Maggiore Upper Areas Open Time Skip the Line ticket

Beautiful cathedral in the heart of Rome. We went during the Jubilee and it was busy but worth it. Definitely a must see.

We visited the basilica early in the morning on Saturday and there was no queue for security so skip the line wasn’t really beneficial. The basilica itself is beautiful and we spent around 1.5 hours in the main basilica which is free to enter. The ticket for the upper areas really enabled us to see the beautiful mosaic but the museum area was quite small. Would recommend the underground tour which can be purchased at the entrance which is a fascinating look at early Roman life under the basilica.

Bought these tickets last minute for a quick trip through the church. Staff was very helpful making sure that we got our tickets and had no issues entering the church. They followed up to make sure we had a nice time as well.

Absolutely terrible experience. We got there 15 minutes before our scheduled time and were told we weren’t able to go because it was full/sold out. However we bought a ticket. If I knew this was possible we would have been there way earlier. We ended up just going into the basilica which is already free.

The church entrance is free. What Viator offers is superfluous. And it’s impossible to use. I paid to see the “upstairs” but couldn’t use it because the sign that was supposed to be there was missing.

They didn't send me the Watsapp for the tickets and we couldn't get into the top of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Maggiore

Actually I wanted to avoid doing a review, but for what happened, I can not help it: Given that I was with friends to whom I had told that to visit the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore I had taken care to turn to Litiberi travel to avoid waiting in line. For this Service I paid €84.00 . When we arrived at the Basilica we discovered that there was no "skip the line" in that place, having received confirmation of this from the Carabinieri in charge of the control, the Policeman on Service and the Info Point. The latter has removed tickets for the museum visit of €22.00 (€5.5 per person). Now I wonder, the other € 62.00 why were they paid? I was sent a "skip the line" voucher. All this to warn any other tourists, to avoid turning to Litiberi travel.

Any time you can get “ skip the line” it is well worth it so you aren’t using your precious vacation hours waiting in line. The church was quite nice. We did not have a tour guide and did ok on our own but was worth it to see the plain and simple tomb of Pope Francis. The instructions Viator gave us to follow and get into the church were simple and easily executed

very well and it was very quick to get the ticket voucher as I managed it while already outside the cathedral.

It is entirely worth the euros to get skip the line tickets… just look for entry point for Reservations.. go thru security.. then it is also worth the euros to get Timed tickets for tours that afford you visitation to the Popes Room, Balcony and Museum… Excellent experience!!!!!
