Overview

Attend the weekly address of the pope with this papal audience ticket. In Vatican City, your guide will lead you through the mass of people to a prime location, where you’ll watch the pope address the crowd, and hear about the historical tradition of the papal audience. With a personal audio headset, you’ll be sure to hear everything the guide says above the noise of the crowd. While the weekly audience with the pope draws very large numbers, this ticket provides guided commentary in a group limited to 20 people.

Stop At: Vatican City, Vatican City, Lazio

After meeting your guide near St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, put on your provided headset to start your papal audience experience. While the address is a Catholic custom, the event draws people of all beliefs from around the world each week.

Following your guide, navigate the crowd to reach your seat, where you’ll have views of the pope when he arrives. While you wait, learn a bit about the history of the papacy in Rome and hear about Renaissance artists like Michelangelo who left such a beautiful mark on the Vatican. With your audio headset, you don’t have to worry about not being able to hear your guide over the throngs of people.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: St. Peter's Square, Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Vatican City Italy

As the address starts, listen to the cardinals leading pilgrims in prayer, and watch the pope deliver his blessings for the week. The service includes hymns, prayers and a homily. When the address is over, you'll be ready to explore St Peter’s Square on your own.

Although Papal Audience tickets are free, organizing your own can be a difficult process. We cut out the hassle by reserving your invitation for you, picking it up and bringing it to the meeting point. Then we lead you inside with plenty of time to secure a good place to see the Pope as he makes his way to the stage.

Due to the tremendous popularity of Pope Francis, record numbers of people attend the weekly Papal Audience. Book early to make sure you do not miss this incredible event.

Brilliant experience, got so close to the Pope we could touch him! My tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke the entire time we were in the queue, so the time passed very quickly. She got us to the best seats she could and made me feel comfortable seeing that I was alone and did not know what to expect! 100% worth paying just for the ease of not needing to get tickets, and having somebody there to guide you through a confusing entrance! What a fun and different experience for me to have, thank you!

Wouldn’t really say we had the best seats for what you paid for when they advertise you were going to have some of the best seats.

Amazing! I told Veronica it was my daughter's 21st birthday. She set our tour in an ideal spot to see the Pope. Not only were we a few feet from Pope Francis, but he read my daughter's sign and acknowledged her birthday! Thank you

Our tour guide was perfect. She explained everything as we waited and lead us to our seats. Thank you.

I wish no one would book this. I arrived 30 mins before the indicated meeting time, but I wasn't able to get in because the meetup point was behind the security checks. I was there at 7:00AM but the queue for security was almost a kilometre long that it would be impossible to get in in time. Had I been told to arrive at 6AM I would have made it to the meetup point by the indicated time of 7:30; but it appears to me that that information was concealed to minimize the number of goers. The refund was 24H before the meetup time so I was refused a refund. This is a terrible service and I hope no one will avail this.
