Walking in Rome: From Vatican City to Trastevere, Rome, Italy

We walked from Vatican City to Trastevere, starting early in the morning, and finishing after nightfall. However, we took plenty of breaks to enjoy the beautiful views over Rome, grab a bite or have a drink.

We left the place we were staying at early in the morning and bought some tasty pastry products on the way. Then, we got on the subway to Ottaviano, walked a bit, passing by聽Piazza del Risorgimento, and ending in聽Piazza San Pietro. Though it was before 8 in the morning, there was already a line to pass the security check for Basilica San Pietro and its Dome. However, it was short and it was in the shadow. While we were waiting for our turn and enjoying our breakfast in line, the queue got larger and larger, all the way to the entrance in the Piazza San Pietro, if you鈥檙e coming from Via della Conciliazione. All in all, I don鈥檛 think we spent more than 20 minutes waiting. Then, we went through the security check and decided to start with St. Peter鈥檚 Dome.
