Papal Audience & Hop on Hop off Bus Tour

Experience the unique tradition of the Catholic Church by attending a General Audience with the Pope, an open meeting cherished by the faithful and upheld by successive popes.

In the Catholic Church, a General Audience refers to a specific type of meeting with the Pope, open to anyone who wishes to attend. Since its inception, successive popes have upheld this tradition, making it a valued opportunity for the faithful to connect with the pontiff. Depending on the season, weather, and number of attendees, the papal audience can take place either in St. Peter's Square or in the Audience Hall, also known as Aula Nervi.

This ticket also includes a daily ticket for our Hop on Hop off bus.
