Visit Vatican City and be a part of the Papal Audience at St. Peter’s Square, St. Peter’s Basilica, or the Audience Hall. Enjoy the scenic drive to the event and see some of the highlights of Rome.
Drive by the Piazza della Repubblica, featuring the majestic Fountain of the Nayads. Built in the 1800s, this giant fountain once featured lion sculptures, but those were replaced in 1901 by the Nayad of the Rivers, Oceans, Lakes, and Underground Waters. Continue to the Piazza Barberini, which holds the Tritone Fountain by Bernini. Drive along the Via Veneto to the Aurelian Walls, which are the former walls of the city of Rome. Your tour moves to Villa Borghese park and to the Piazza del Popolo. There you’ll see the Egyptian Obelisk, which was brought to Rome in 10BC, as well as the giant Castel St. Angelo, known as the tomb of Hadrian.
Arrive at the Vatican and be a part of the Papal Audience, which is truly a once in a lifetime experience. You’ll have seen the sights of Rome, but nothing will compare with time spent in the presence of the Pope. Please remember that a strict dress code is enforced; knees and shoulders must be covered, and men must wear long pants.
