When we lived in Rome 16 years ago, it was no problem going into St. Peter’s Basilica. It is huge, opulently decorated, and took over 100 years to build. We even got tickets and went to midnight mass on Christmas Eve in 1992 given by the Pope.
Today, you need to clear a metal detector. It may be that the Vatican only invested in one! The line had between 500 and 700 people when we arrived in the morning. We could not go inside and see all of the other things that we wanted to see.
