Papal Audience with Pope Leo XIV Vatican blessing tour

4.7/5
16 reviews

After meeting your guide, you will have access tickets to attend the weekly General Audience that Pope Leo XIV presides every Wednesday in either St. Peter's Square or Nervi Hall in the Vatican City.

The Audience consists of small teachings and readings in Italian and other languages (depending on the groups visiting). The Pope greets the pilgrims and groups in each language. The ceremony ends with the Pope and visitors praying together 'Our Father' in Latin (printed on the back of the Papal Audience ticket). The Pope will then impart his Apostolic Blessing upon the crowd and the world, and bless any religious articles that visitors bring for this special purpose (such as rosary beads).

Experience an intense, spiritual moment of emotion and reflection, along with thousands of people from all over the world. Feel free to pray or simply observe one of the most incredible, long-standing traditions in the world.

Your experience includes a short walking tour around the area. We will walk to reach St Peter's Basilica. When you arrive in the square, you will check in with your reserved tickets and pass a metal detector security control. Your experienced guide will then take you to a spot with an excellent view of the ceremony.

    Der Treffpunkt : 07:15 Uhr. Zuerst dachten wir - ach jeh ...... Aber die Zeit benötigt man unbedingt. Unsere Begleiterin erzählte uns viele interessante Dinge über den Vatikan . Wir mussten dann ja noch durch die Sicherheitskontolle, was auch einige Zeit in Anspruch nahm. Dies war aber sehr kurzweilig, da immer etwas erzählt wurde und wir eine taffe Begleiterin hatten, die uns schnell duch die Kontrolle leitetet. Als Belohnung hatten wir einen tollen Platz - der Papst fuhr dierket an uns vorbei

    Eine rundum gut organisierte und zuverlässige Aktion mit einer perfekten Stadtführerin. Mit ihren interessanten Informationen ging die Wartezeit wie im Flug vorbei. Respekt auch vor ihrer Souveränität in einer extrem langen und zum Schluss etwas chaotischen Warteschlange vor den Sicherheitskontrollen. Wir waren daher wenige Minuten verspätet, was aber völlig ok war. Tipp: Nach der Audienz unbedingt bleiben, denn dann nimmt sich der Papst noch mal viel Zeit für Begegnungen.

    O passeio foi excelente! É importante destacar que a audiência com o papa é gratuita, mas são necessário meses de antecedência para a solicitação, além de ter que buscar no vaticano um dia antes o ingresso,e não tinha tempo,então o passeio foi maravilhoso, pontual e os guias são incríveis! Recomendo
