I organized an online ticket for 09:15 so I avoided to wait in the queue with hundreds of people.
I love this basilica so much! I was 5 hours there. The audio guided tour lasts 45 minutes 😉
I leaned to one of these huge pillars and looked. A few minutes later I made a one step forward surrounding the pillar stopped and looked. Only one step opens a totally different picture. To me it’s breathtaking and makes me moved and dignified and spontaneously tears were in my eyes.
Listening to the audio guide, reading on Wikipedia sitting on a stone bench, staying, walking round looking a video wall with a drone flight giving some outside and high angles.
