We reached there before 9am, already long line up to enter St.Peter's Basilica (for security check before enter).
After 30mins, we managed to enter..
Even Monday this place still very busy with tourists..
This basilica is astounding with its architectural marvels, and the art it contains.
All visitors also never forgot to take picture of the Swiss Papal Guards..nice uniform huh..
Another must do when you visit Vatican city, send postcard from the post office here. They have their own stamp. I also did the same thing, sent back 3 postcards for my kids from this smallest country in the world !!
After we exit from St.Peter's Basilica, we saw the Q even longer, even U turn back, hahaha..
While we blessed we did not go through such long Q, we did not realized our next stop that took us 1 and 1/2hr for the Q, LOL.
Beautiful Dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City

ReplyDeleteWe went there on the 1st January , it was just incredibly packed n we just took some pics on the open top buses n went back for a stroll at night. Thanks for sharing the photos inside the church.
ReplyDelete好漂亮的地方，期待有一天自己也可以到那旅行只是不知道要储蓄多久才有这笔旅费，呵呵呵～
ReplyDeleteawesome place to visit it will be nice if your photo is bigger.
ReplyDeleteahhhh I want to fly there right now
ReplyDeleteI love Rome! I can still remember I survived on penne pasta the whole trip cos back then I do not like Western food so if I go there again, I will enjoy the food far more better.
ReplyDeleteGood morning,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beautiful photos. The place is really so grand and awesome!
Sonia, thanks for sharing the photos, keep reminding me on my europe trip.
ReplyDeletei must remember the postcards next time when i go there!
ReplyDeleteSonia, do you need special visa to enter Vatican city? How far is it from St. Peter's Basilica? Mode of transport? How many do you need to cover must visit places in Vatican?
ReplyDeleteCaca, don't need any Visa to enter. We took train from the station near our hotel in Roma to Vatican and journey was about 5mins, even you can walk to there, maybe about one hour, in fact we walked back from Vatican till hotel ..Vatican is very small place , we just visited this church and a museum , don't think there are any more places to visit .
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia. Hopefully, I could visit this place next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures .Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful vacation.
