Admission: Free · The basilica is free. Whether a charge is made to photograph the Bocca della Verità in the portico is NOT published by the basilica or by any public authority, so it is not stated here — carry a small amount of cash in case.

Best viewpoint: Inside, at the west end of the nave: the 1894–99 restoration stripped the Baroque back to a Cosmatesque floor and an eighth-century plan, and the whole length of it reads from there.
