HOLY SH**

by opinerin , Feb 26 '02
Pros: A great historical and religious relic
Cons: Intimidating and uninviting to non-Catholics
After trudging around Rome on a sunny January day, I was less than excited about my visit to the sovereign state of the Pope. As an agnostic, I felt that the site would be more of a history lesson than a spiritual moment. When one first arrives in St....

Pros: beautiful city and weather
Cons: cafes will take advantage of you

Vatican City Essential Stop in Rome.

by coldsteel7 coldsteel7 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 05 '99
Pros: Exceptional Art.
Cons: Lot of Walking.
When visiting Rome, be sure to visit the Vatican. The Vatican Museum costs less than ten dollars to get in, and is money well spent. After entering the Museum, you walk on a steep ramp-style walkway approximately 50 feet or so up. The tour involves...

Pros: a wonderful experience, breathtaking culture and history, beautiful artwork
Cons: lots of walking, dress code might put off some people
My trip to Vatican City in the fall of 1996 was nothing short of spectacular and it left a lasting impression with me. Words cannot express what I witnessed or how I felt but I will do my best to convey those thoughts. As a Catholic visiting the Papal ...

Vatican City at break neck speed

by azielinski Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 09 '01
Pros: Artwork - history - faith -- a pretty powerful mix.
Cons: The crowds can make it difficult to see anything.
Are you still with me? Vatican City was another one of the stops on the whirlwind trip of Italy that I took with my mother.

Although I don't remember exactly what time we got to Vatican City, I do know it was early. Early as it was, there...

Cons: drivers
My husband had saved his American miles, and there were enough for the two of us to fly to Rome. Oh, what a honeymoon! We were there in May 1997. I will never forget it.

HOME OF THE POPE

by trovello , Jan 13 '00
Pros: THE SISTINE CHAPEL - A MUST
Cons: TIRING
The Vatican is probably the best known religious site in the world. It is unique in every way because it is so self contained.

I believe that you should allow a minimum of two days to properly visit it- three, if you can spare the time. To...

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth

by brmanker , Apr 28 '00
Pros: Welcome to the Earthly gates of Heaven
Cons: dress code (nothing risque, etc.), backpacks not allowed inside
My friends and I had planned to go to the Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica as a side trip; in fact, we did not really care much about the "home" of the Pope. I, myself, am a Methodist, and I am not very religious. I had no idea what...

Vacation at the Vatican

by Lobstergirl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 25 '01
Pros: Beautiful, massive, pompous, baroque.
Cons: Once inside the Museums, you are subjected to a rigid itinerary.


I knew I wanted to spend the bulk of one day in the Vatican during my three days in Rome: I had to see the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael frescoes, and Bernini's twisty-columned baldacchino and Michelangelo's Pieta inside St....
