St. Peter's Basilica used for Mass like any Catholic church. Of course it is most well-known for for the papal liturgies which take place there. It should be noted however, that St. Peters is NOT a cathedral.
There are many Basilica's, I'm assuming you mean St Peters, Yes, I believe for tourism.
no he was buried coz there was no such thing as cremated back then No. Cremation is not usually used by Catholics now days, and it DEFINITELY wouldn't have been used then. In fact, Saint Peters remains are kept in the crypt under Saint Peters Basilica in the Vatican.

the vaticanAnswer:In the year 656 Pope Vitalian decided the Catholic Church was not interested in the remains of the apostles Peter and Paul. THE POPE THEREFORE ORDERED THEM SENT TO OSWY, KING OF BRITAIN! Here is part of his letter to the British king:"However, we have ordered the blessed gifts of the holy Martyrs, that is, the relics of the blessed apostles, Peter and Paul, and of the holy martyrs Laurentius, John, and Paul, and Gregory, and Pancratius, to be delivered to the bearers of these our letters, to be by them delivered to you (Bedes "Ecclesiastical History", bk. III, ch. 29).Clarification:The tomb of Saint Peter is below the main altar of Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and the tomb of Saint Paul is in the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. If relics were sent to Britain, they were only small relics as the major portion of their bodies are still very much in Rome.
