With reserved access, you’ll skip long lines and move directly to your seating area. As the square fills with pilgrims from across the world, feel the anticipation and energy of the crowd. Your guide will share stories about Pope Leo XIV, the history of Papal ceremonies, and the unique rituals that surround them. Then, witness the arrival of the Holy Father, with music, prayers, and blessings. Experience the emotion as Pope Leo XIV greets the faithful, delivers his message, and offers a blessing to all. Throughout the event, your guide will provide context, translating and explaining key moments. Finally, take time to reflect, capture photos, and embrace the spiritual atmosphere of one of the Vatican’s most moving traditions.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
