A day dedicated to exploring Vatican City, the world\u2019s smallest sovereign state.<\/p>\n
In the morning, you will attend the Papal Audience in St Peter\u2019s Square, a unique opportunity to see the Pope up close as he passes among the faithful and to hear his message and receive his final blessing.<\/p>\n
After lunch, the tour continues with a guided visit to the Vatican Museums, which house an extraordinary collection of art gathered by the Popes over the centuries.
