Trionfale Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Vatican is the smallest country in the world yet it is grand. Not only is Vatican City the home of the pope, it’s also where you’ll find some of history’s most revered works of art as well as the largest church in the world – St Peter’s Basilica.

Besides its massive size, St Peter’s Basilica is famous for being the final resting place of St Peter (one of Jesus’ 12 apostles) and a significant number of past popes. At the time it was built in the 1600’s, it was also considered to be the greatest work of Renaissance architecture ever made. 

I’ll never forget how awe-inspiring it was to walk through this brilliant architectural marvel! #History

Entrance to the Cipro Metro station in Rome, Italy.
Trionfale
The famous spiral staircase at the exit of Vatican Museum in Rome. Count with at least 2-3 hours to see it all and get there really early or late in the afternoon where the crowds are minimal!
