Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted. There is no need to print anything.
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Yes. The basilica is an active place of worship. Both shoulders and knees must be covered. Visitors who do not meet the dress code may be refused entry, so plan your outfit in advance or bring a scarf.
Can I bring a suitcase or large backpack?
Large bags and luggage are not permitted inside the basilica. Travel light or make alternative storage arrangements before your visit.
Are there areas I might not be able to access on the day?
Certain areas of the basilica may be closed or restricted during liturgical celebrations and religious services. This is outside the operator's control, but the main nave and museum remain accessible in most cases.
Is there a discount for children or students?
Children under 6 years old enter free of charge. Students up to 25 years old are eligible for a reduced-price ticket on presentation of a valid student ID.
Is the basilica accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
The basilica is located at street level and is largely step-free, though some areas — including the Loggia — may have limited accessibility. Contact the operator before booking if you have specific requirements.
