Itinerary
The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in Vatican City — commonly known as St. Peter’s Basilica — is a masterpiece of Italian High Renaissance architecture. It is located in Vatican City, an independent microstate fully enclosed within Rome, Italy. As one of the holiest sites in Christendom, St. Peter’s Basilica is both a major pilgrimage destination and a center for important liturgical events. Throughout the year, the pope presides over numerous ceremonies inside the basilica and in the adjacent St. Peter’s Square, drawing crowds of between 15,000 and over 80,000 people.

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.
