The Vatican for the Papal Address

Checked off a bucket list item... and made 1 more.

#44 - Attend the Pope's public address in person ✔
...
#62 - Bring my child to the Pope's address so his/her forehead can get kissed by the Pope

The line was massive to get into the square. For future reference, highly recommend getting to the Vatican early (7 am) to get through security and get seats in front of St. Peter's Basilica. We got to the Vatican around 8 am, and it was already packed.

The Pope's address starts around 10 am, and he rides in on a cart that weaves between aisles beforehand for crowd interaction. A great opportunity to get a high five!Leggi altro
