A Guide to San Giovanni Rotondo, San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy
San Giovanni Rotondo was the next stop on my mom and I鈥檚聽religious trip through Europe. Before this, we had visited聽Rome聽and the聽Vatican City聽(arguably the biggest places in Italy for anyone looking to experience its religious side).

There are聽several ways to get to San Giovanni. We opted for traveling by train. This was because it was relatively simple and easy, especially since we were coming from Rome. The train journey lasted for around 4 hours and cost us 40 euros each. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
