Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Visiting St. Peter's Square and Basilica in the Vatican
Rome · Italy
About this experience
St Peter's Square in the Vatican is a great gathering place, embraced on both sides by a colonnade with an obelisk at its centre. The facade of the basilica rises opposite. Walking the square and the outside of the basilica is a good start to grasping the scale of this centre, which matters to the Christian world.
It is a religious site, so cover shoulders and knees, stay quiet and respectful, and expect a queue because of security checks.
