Experience a stress-free visit to Vatican City with this exclusive tour, where your expert guide will introduce you to the Vatican's rich history and ensure you make the most of your time attending the Papal Audience with Pope Leo XIV!
Following the passing of the beloved Pope Francis on Easter Monday, 2025, the election of Pope Leo XIV at the end of the second day of the Conclave marked a historic moment for the Church and the wave of faithful people present at the moment of the announcement.

The white smoke from the Sistine Chapel on May 8th, 2025, brought excitement and hope to millions, signaling the beginning of a new era. This Papal Audience offers a unique chance to witness the new Pope’s inaugural blessing.
Every Wednesday, thousands gather to hear the Pope’s message. If weather permits, the audience is held in the breathtaking St. Peter’s Square. In case of bad weather, it moves to the indoor Paul VI Hall, designed by architect Pier Luigi Nervi in 1971.
Your tour begins with a stroll through the Borgo district, one of Rome’s most historic neighborhoods, leading you to St. Peter’s Square. Feel the awe-inspiring atmosphere as you approach the square, steeped in centuries of history.

While Papal Audience tickets are free, they’re difficult to secure, so we’ve pre-booked yours for a seamless experience. Arriving early, you’ll have a prime spot to see Pope Leo XIV. You may even have the rare chance to shake his hand as he walks through the crowd toward the stage. The Pope’s main address is delivered in Italian, followed by greetings in at least eight languages, offering a truly international experience.

Don’t miss this historic opportunity to see the newly elected Pope in person—book early!
After the audience, your guide will meet you at Emporio Vaticano, steps from St. Peter’s Square, to conclude this unforgettable experience. At the end of the tour, it is essential to proceed to the Emporio Vaticano (Piazza Papa Pio XII n.1) to return the headset provided in the morning. Please make sure not to miss this final step, as it is required to complete your experience properly. Thank you for being so cooperative!
