Vatican City and St. Peter's

Vatican City and St. Peter's
Quote: It’s hard to believe you’re walking into a whole different country as you enter into Vatican City – with the Pope as the ruler. Ironically enough, however, St. Peter’s church is not the highest church in Catholicism, nor is it the Popes’ church,... Read the full Vatican review

  • July 11, 2003
Quote: The Vatican City became a state within a state in 1929 although it goes back further in history. It is probably one of the richest countries in the world for its size in addition to its many priceless treasures. The Sistine Chapel, Vatican Library... Read the full Vatican review

The Vatican
Quote: Now, I found the Vatican great and all but I guess my expectations were bigger. The art, the atmosphere, the history was great. The standing for 3 hours to get in wasn't. The guy standing in the Sistine Chapel "sshh" was kinda funny but not that... Read the full Vatican review

Amazing Vatican

  • 4 out of 5 stars by katja from New York City, New York
  • March 15, 2003
Quote: The Vatican was amazing. From the minute we walked into San Piedro square, we stood there with our jaws dropped, just amazed at the sight of it all. The St. Peter's Basilica was huge and inside was just stunning. We spent a lot of time there. They... Read the full Vatican review

Vatican
Quote: Save a week or two for the world’s smallest country. Besides the Sistine Chapel, thousands of famous relics, and the incredible tomb of the popes, there’s the Basilica di San Pietro. The Cathedral alone can hold 60,000 people, and was designed by... Read the full Vatican review

A World Unto Itself - The Vatican Museum
Quote: First, I advise reading my "Sistine Must-Knows" entry for details on how to semi-privately enjoy the top attraction as well as directions/times/admission fees. If using/following these hints, it might seem kind of pointless to further explore the... Read the full Vatican review

Vatican Museum
Quote: The Vatican Museum is huge and overwhelmingly ornate. You could spend a week inside and not see everything. They have separated the collections into categories like Egyptian, Etruscan, modern religious, etc. to help you organize your time. We had... Read the full Vatican review

Saint Peters in the Vatican
Quote: What a sight! This was a very moving experience. The Church itself is huge with enough room to allow 100,000 people to occupy it at one time. There is a treasure at every turn. In the basement they have all the Popes from St. Peter on. I did not... Read the full Vatican review

Saint Peters in the Vatican
Quote: Saint Peters will inspire awe and wonder at first sight. The scale of this place is almost unimaginable, and yet understandable, for here lies the center of of Catholic ideology. It is difficult to fathom that one fourth of the world's population is... Read the full Vatican review
