Rome / Vatican City
The Roman Basilicas
A curated pilgrimage through the great basilicas of Rome and the Vatican — tombs, relics, and the confession of Peter.
Why this route
Rome is not a museum circuit. The basilicas are a confession in stone — Peter, Paul, the Lateran as the Pope's cathedral, Mary as the Church's mother. Walk them as a single act of faith across several days.

Practical notes
Walk early, dress modestly, and plan security lines at the Vatican. Add St. John Lateran and St. Paul Outside the Walls as those place pages land.
