Highlights

Attending a papal audience in Vatican City is a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual and cultural experience—but obtaining access on your own can be tricky. This pre-booked experience ensures guaranteed tickets to see Pope Leo XIV, allowing you to focus on the moment rather than the logistics.

You'll be equipped with a personal audio device, so you won’t miss a word—even in a large crowd.


Held in St. Peter’s Square or the Paul VI Audience Hall, the audience includes a greeting, blessings, and teachings from Pope Leo XIV, often in several languages.
