St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City 梵蒂岡, Rome Italy 2013 羅馬意大利自由行

Ok, lets continue with my Italy travel post. This post is related to those places we went on Day 2. I watch again  movie " Angels and Demons" before go Italy, and I was so excited and looking forward to see those places especially Vatican City that shown in the movie. And I also learnt that Vatican City is a smallest country/state in the world.

 

We reached there before 9am, already long line up to enter St.Peter's Basilica (for security check before enter).

 

After 30mins, we managed to enter..

 

Even Monday this place still very busy with tourists..

This basilica is astounding with its architectural marvels, and the art it contains. 

All visitors also never forgot to take picture of the Swiss Papal Guards..nice uniform huh..

 

Another must do when you visit Vatican city, send postcard from the post office here. They have their own stamp. I also did the same thing, sent back 3 postcards for my kids from this smallest country in the world !!

After we exit from St.Peter's Basilica, we saw the Q even longer, even U turn back, hahaha..

While we blessed we did not go through such long Q, we did not realized our next stop that took us 1 and 1/2hr for the Q, LOL.
