Address: Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City

Today is the first time I'm going to see the pope, head of the catholic church, in real life. So... I should be excited but to be honest, some churches in kl like the paintings in Assumption church PJ have raised my art standards a bit too high...


If you haven't went to assumption church Pj, please do... The altar pieces there are on par to those here and even better than some. 


Fountain on the way
They do sell a lot of mother Mary and jesus and Joseph and the popular saint statues here.

Little tour around the audience. We sat very close to the boarders.

Full view of the church
It's sad that no one puts any plagues or booklets of anything to tell who the statutes are. 
It's raining a bit

Time to go to the Vatican Museum. 


Pre event:
The Papal audience tickets. They are free. 
You can obtain them by walking to the bronze gate on the right side of the square. You might need to fax into the Vatican office for them if you are visiting during peak season.
