Rome, Italy is Home to the Pope
Is there any more perfect place to spend Christmas than the home of Vatican City, the home of the Pope, and the Catholic Church of St. Peter’s Square? Especially if you practice Catholicism, you and your family will have to head off to Rome, the capital of Italy at some point in your life for Christmas.
Vatican City and the Catholic Church of St. Peter experience the most visitors on Christmas Day when the Pope gives his annual speech to the people of Rome. You and your family will love seeing the shiny lights throughout the city. Absorb the culture by participating in Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve at St. Peter’s Basilica or the Pantheon.
