About This Adventure
Experience the awe of the Papal Audience, a unique opportunity to see the Pope in person at St. Peter's Square. Enjoy hassle-free access with reserved tickets, a professional guide, and headsets to enhance your experience. Witness the Holy Father's message and blessing in a memorable, spiritual atmosphere.
The tour
Attending the Papal Audience is an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience and an opportunity to see the Pope himself. Every Wednesday morning the Holy Father holds a public Audience on St. Peter's Square. He will be passing by the faithful on his Pope mobile, on his way to the podium in front of St. Peter's Basilica, from where will be delivering his message and finally give the Papal Blessing. Although Papal Audience tickets are free, organizing your own can be a difficult process. We eliminate the hassle by reserving, picking up and bringing the invitation to the meeting point. Then we guide you through the crowds, getting to the area available for us.
