Papal Audience visit to Rome |
Known as the Eternal City Rome is a city which holds legendary importance in Western Civilisation - it is a haven for those who appreciate art, museums, and designer shopping. Renowned for its many famous landmarks including the Coliseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps - Rome will leave a lasting impression on those who visit this beautiful city. Make your next visit to Rome memorable by including a Papal Audience on your visit to Rome. Vatican City, where the Papal Audience in Rome is held, is an independent state within Rome that is ruled by the pope, and serves as the world headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church. Except at Saint Peter's Square, the Vatican is surrounded by medieval and Renaissance walls that separate it from the city beyond. The Papal Swiss Guard still dress in the colourful uniforms of the Renaissance era.
The Papal Audience in Rome tour normally takes place on Wednesdays when the Pope is in Rome. It begins with a short drive past some of Rome's best known sights, Piazza della Repubblica with the Fountain of the Nayads, and the beautiful Piazza Barberini with Bernini's Baroque Tritone Fountain. For the Papal Audience in Rome tickets are limited and you must have a confirmed reservation to attend. In summer when the Pope is at his summer residence the Papal Audience in Rome will be held on a Sunday at Castelgandolfo instead of in Rome. Choose your Papal Audience in Rome from the Tempo Holidays sightseeing range, designed to expose consumers to the many facets of Roman history, architecture, and culture. Our Papal Audience in Rome tour is conducted partly on foot so make sure you wear good walking shoes. Mini skirts, uncovered shoulders, or shorts, cannot be worn on this excursion.
