    Skip-the-line-tour is a must during summer. It's small but you still need to spend at least half day in Vatican. Worth!

    The Pope lives here, the beating heart of the Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ the Son of God.

    The queue to St. Peter's basilica isnt that bad. Make sure to wear proper clothing as the security is very strict about it. Ciao!

    The Pope speeches every Sunday at noon. But he may be late for 15-20 min. Everything around St.Peter's square is closed during his speech till 1 pm on Sunday.

    The whole place seems like a profligate exercise in vanity, dominion and empire disguised as religion to serve a few men's egos.

    It's stunning. But bothered me the fact that the priests use a golden toilet or whatever else in gold while people have nothing to eat.
