    Very good price and really a great facility that it is queue-free. You don't know how terrible it is to stand in the sun in endless queues.

    The basilica is incredibly beautiful, and if it is very imposing from the outside, you can't imagine what it is like inside.

    This is the most complete and convenient option I have found to visit the basilica. Remember that there are several floors and zones.
