Rome was called the “Eternal City” by the ancient Romans because they believed that no matter what happened in the rest of the world, the city of Rome would always remain standing. Few cities are as steeped in living history as Rome.  The city dazzles with iconic Roman ruins, a wealth of art and architecture, and lively historic squares. Classical ruins and early Christian places of worship stand next to – or sometimes lie beneath – Renaissance palazzos and Baroque fountains. It's impossible not to feel the pull of the past when spending time in the vibrant Italian capital.

Papal Audience Experience with Pope Francis

Attending this energetic display of faith is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You will be escorted through the crowds to a prime viewing spot in St. Peter's Square by your guide, who will provide insight into the history and traditions of the Papacy and Papal Audience ceremony. Due to the tremendous popularity of Pope Francis, people travel from around the world to attend this weekly event.
