If the inner church area is temporarily closed because of an unforeseen special ceremony, you may start your visit with the panoramic terrace and the treasury, and return to the church later when it gets reopened
To reach the dome panorama terrace there are 2 elevators: a bigger one in the lower part and a smaller one in the upper part of the building; instead of using the second smaller elevator you may climb about 160 steps to reach the top of the dome, in case there are too many people waiting for the elevator

The lady I was with was unable to go to the upper part of the Basilica due to mobility problems , however she was willing for me to go, but there was nowhere for her to sit and wait and on descending was rudely told she could not go back into the main part of the Basilica to wait for me. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave lots of information. I really enjoyed what I saw,

St Stephen's Basilica and views from the top were impressive but guided tour quite brief and limited (1/2 hr). Could have saved ourselves a considerable sum by purchasing tickets direct from ticket office and not by using online service. Queue at T O appeared very quick and we had to wait anyway.

A conflict between where we were told to meet the guide and where she was told to meet us caused us some significant anxiety. Fortunately, she checked the place we were waiting (about 20 minutes later). As a guide, she did a good job, but not great or excellent.
