  • PAPAL AUDIENCES
    Some people see it as an spiritual experience, some as a tourist attraction. I don't make judgements, only want to let you know how to get a papal audience, in case you feel like it.
    Public audiences are held on wednesday mornings at 11 am, in the Papal Audience Chamber. Go in the morning hours to the Portone di Bronzo, which is located in the right colonnade in St. Peter's Square ( or write to the Prefetto della Casa Pontificia, Citta del Vaticano, 00120 Rome, telephone 698 83017, fax 698 85863). Fill the form and go to the Prefettura, 1st. floor.
    And if you can't wait till they give you a date for the audience, the Pope also appears at noon on most Sundays in the library window, above St. Peter's Square (you've probably seen it on TV).
    Warning: in august the Pope is on holidays. ;-((

     Very informative page on Rome. This is definitely one city I would love to visit. Shame about the petty crime though.

     Joaquin, it seams to me like if you spend most of your time in cafés and restaurants ... maybe I should do so too!
