Dome tours at the Basilica of the National Shrine

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception offers guided dome tours that ascend to elevated viewpoints around the basilica's exterior dome. These tours provide panoramic views over the Catholic University campus and parts of Northeast Washington, D.C., and are scheduled and ticketed by the basilica. Access to the dome is restricted for safety and weather reasons, and tour availability is posted on the shrine's official site.
