Vatican City Travel Blogs - Page 3

In 2004, I went to Italy with the same group that went to Paris. We rented a nice apartment in Rome and spent the majority of the week there. We did one day trip to Pompeii. The food was amazing, as was the weather, the art, and the culture.

I suppose you could classify me as the typical teenager living in Nova Scotia, religion is stupid and pointless. Ok let me rephrase that, you could classify me as the typical angsty teenager who lives in Nova Scotia and hangs out with a rougher tougher crew than most. I don't believe in Christianit…

I spent a couple of weeks in Rome with some family and went to do the 'Tourist-thing' with my sister.

This was my first solo trip to a foreign country (aside from going back and forth to the Philipines of course!). It was a blast and definitely liberating. Spent thanksgiving for the first time without the fam. Enjoy the pictures.

Visiting Vatican City

To get into the gates of Vatican City I had to wait a little over half an hour after rising early in the morning to find that a decently long line had already formed prior to them letting people inside; even though it was a weekday.  Thankfully, and amazingly, this was the only line that …

Rome, Vatican City, down the Amalfi Coast to Sorrento and Positano and then up to Florence.

We took campsite transportation to the Vatican City.  We arrived and there was a huge line to get in... we walked around to St. Peter's Square.  The Pope was speaking when we got there but there were too many people to get in.  Instead we went to a shop to wait where we heard an engl…

My first ever trip to Europe, five cities/towns in just one week -- Rome, Vatican, Brussels, Paris and Versailles -- to get away from work and an unpleasant break-up.

Amalfi Coast, Capri, Paestum, Pompei,Rome, Sistine Chapel,Vatican, Vesuvius

In the middle of my second day in Rome, I thought I'd visit the smallest fully independent country in the world. You guessed it...the Vatican City, home to the Vatican of course, the pope, and the Swiss guard. Besides being the smallest country in the world, (with just 850 residents) the …

If you would like to visit the Vatican, but you're a little short on time, I would highly recommend booking a private tour guide through a reputable company in Rome.  Some of these tour guides will even purchase your tickets for you in advance to save a little more time.  The reason …

Roma, Italy-the first european country I've visited thus far. Hopefully more to come. So my sis and i spent 3 days there (not enough), lived in hostel just outside Bologna station. Didn't get to visit any museums, but I though the street of Rome has enough history than the paintings and statuses can tell. We feed on local goods in the supermarket and dined out for 2 lunches and 2 dinners.

Went there to work on my language skills, but everybody spoke english there! people were not so nice (i heard they are nicer in the South) but sightseeing was amazing! beautiful architecture! somehow we managed to see most of this beautiful city in 5 days, but it was tireing, especially with their breaks during the day, when most places just close for an hour or two.

Golly. This one was: Frankfurt Germany, Edinburgh Scotland, Dublin Ireland, Belfast NI, Rome Naples and Pompeii Italy. Favorite of them all: Dublin, but that's because it was St Patrick's Day =)
