The audience takes place in either St Peter's Square, St Peter's Basilica or the Audience Hall, depending on seasonal conditions and the number of pilgrims visiting on each particular day.

Bookings are essential if you'd like to attend a Papal Audience with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. Tickets are limited and you must have a confirmed reservation to attend. Book ahead and you won't waste precious vacation time in Rome.

You'll begin this day with a relaxing coach tour across Rome. Your city tour includes a live commentary and offers a brief introduction to Rome as you travel by bus to the Vatican City. Highlights en route include Piazza della Repubblica, following the ancient Aurelian Walls, the famous Villa Borghese gardens and the northern gate of Rome leading into Piazza del Popolo, where you will glimpse an Egyptian obelisk dating back to the time of Ramses II.

Upon arrival at St Peter's Square you will pass the impressive Castel Sant'Angelo, the ancient tomb of Emperor Hadrian.

Hotel pickup is available from all Rome centrally located hotels. All hotels must be located in the city centre (within the Aurelian Walls).
If you are staying outside of the central city area, make your own way to the departure point located at 5/a Via Farini, Rome. It is close to Termini Railway Station and just off via Cavour.

Termini is the public transport hub of Rome and easy to get too.

Tour concludes at 5/a Via Farini (centrally located and close to Termini Railway Station). In some cases, it is possible to be dropped off nearby your hotel but this cannot be guaranteed until the day of the tour as it depends on Rome traffic conditions and the location of your hotel.
Ask your tour guide on the day of travel.

Please note, entrance to the Vatican requires appropriate attire. No shorts, miniskirts or uncovered shoulders. It is also advisable to wear comfortable shoes.
