How to Reach St. Peter’s Basilica
Visit to the Vatican City will be a waste if you do not visit the St. Peter’s Basilica. The 2000-year-old Basilica is a symbol of the traditional and classical background of the Vatican City. There are primarily three ways as to how to reach St. Peter's Basilica; Buses, Metro, and by walking. So, explore the popular modes and enjoy your trip.
Bus
You can use the bus service, which is very cost effective and efficient. You can explore the beauty of the City out of the window. There is a wide network of buses that runs through the city, making it the most convenient of all modes to travel. Therefore, you can reach the Vatican City from almost any part of Rome. There are three most popular bus lines, which can get you to the Vatican. These are Bus 64, Bus 60 and Bus 40. Bus 64 halts at the Basilica and south of the piazza and from any of these bus stops; the Basilica is just a short walk away. You can even confirm the same bus from the bus driver or the local passengers.
Metro
The most convenient and the easiest mode of transportation; especially, if you are going to the Basilica. Travelers find it very easy to understand primarily because there are only two lines for almost 20 years now. However, if you take the Metro Red Line (Line A), you can get reasonably closer to the Vatican as the Ottaviano Stop is in proximity to the Basilica. They are labeled in a manner, which is very easy for the travelers to understand, for example – Ottaviano San Pietro. From here, you would most likely have to take a 10-minute walk to reach the Basilica.
Walking to the City
The weather of Rome is fantastic on most days so you can make the most of it and explore the city on your feet. Though a little cumbersome it may get, but you can explore beautiful edifices like the Colosseum, Termini Station and the Pantheon. There are many beautiful bridges to walk through.
On reaching the Basilica
It is free of cost to enter the main building of St. Peter’s Basilica. However, there is an admission fee if you have to visit the Vatican Treasury or climb the cupola. In the months of April to September, the Basilica remains open from 7 am to 7 pm and in the months of October to March, the timings are 7 am to 6 pm. There is a strict dress code, which needs to be adhered to. Any kind of provocative clothing is barred. Shoulders have to be covered and short clothes are not allowed.

Thanks for all arrangements. Very good service by travel agents. snorkelingLokesh Ahuja

Lokesh's 8 days trip to Rome
Overall the trip was well managed and assisted by the team. Hotels in paris and venice were good but naples one was okay(not recommended).Proximity wise paris and venice hotels were far from the city whereas naples one was close. The sightseeing tours, intercity travels and airport transfer were very well managed. Overall i am satisfied with the experience. Some things might have been better. Ritoparno and arindam from duniyasafari and surabhi from traveltriangle were always available and prompt to respond. Thanks a lot duniyasafari and traveltriangle for managing it well.V Mandy

Vishal has been a great friend all the way to the end. I had to plan my trip without the internet and he was right there with all the info to make the right picks regarding the locales, hotels and must visits in every city. Vishal accommodated in the best of hotels and his effort was visible. He's a gem of a guy, while in Italy we called him at odd hours IST and he was always up and about helping with our itenary options. Travel Triangle app and Holiday Hub experience was converted by Vishal into a memorable vacation.Bansari

Hello ! Twilight escapades helped us in planning our Maldives trip and they did an amazing job. Everything went so smooth and we just sat back and relaxed. They arranged the stay at the same property that we wanted at even last minute and customised the plan as per our convenience.SHIVAM JAIN
New delhi
Shivam's 10 days trip to Rome
Pros 1. The hotel bookings were excellent 2. The taxi pickup and drop off was excellent 3. They followed up with us regularly on whatsapp during the course of trip 4. The visa process was excellent Cons 1. Just a few (2-3) days after payment of first installment, the agent increased the overall amount by Rs 10000 and threatened not to do the bookings if the extra amount was not paid. However, on vehement protests by us, the excess amount was rolled back. 2. The SNCF trains were cancelled due to the strikes in Paris. However, the agent didn't care to inform us that the trains are cancelled. But, we were closely monitoring the situation and we ourselves informed the agent that the train was cancelled and requested them to book alternate tickets. Then, they booked alternate tickets for us after taking extra payment. In such a case, instead of us informing the travel agent, the travel agent should have informed us about the train cancellation. Had we not been careful, the whole trip would have been spoiled 3. The return flight timings were advanced to 11:50 am instead of 1:10 pm by Aeroflot. However, the agent did not inform us. Our flight could have been missed, had we not been careful.Raju Banta

Raju's 9 days trip to Rome
Trip was very well planned & executed by the Responsible person Mr. Shashank, all went well as planned except 1 day driver missed the appointment & not turned up, but the contact person immediately took action & asked us to take another Taxi without waiting for the pre booked Taxi. Response of the team was good . Just few recommendations even though it is not agency mistake or might be we asked for them to booked for us so it happened that is for the Local transportation & unlimited trip passes ask travelers to buy from hotel or dly. the Passes at the hotel as collection of these passes is a little hectic job as you can collect your passes only at pre defined places if booked online. For that you have to have a Taxi to go which is is additional 15-20Euro Expense. Once again Thanks for a memorable trip.Sahil Stanley

Sahil's 5 days trip to Rome
The itinerary was very well planned to cover and give a very good experience of entire Italy. The tours offered were also great. Hotels were nice and located near to train stations. The cab drivers were also good as they reached to pick up well before the time. In all the travel agent provided a good package with continuous timely assistance also whenever required. Looking forward to book further holidays through them also. Well Done.Rupali Goel

Rupali's 8 days trip to Rome
We planned to go for Italy trip through Marketels and the experience has been decent. They have guided us with best itinerary with hotels near to metro or railway stations. There was clarity on cost from the team. Marketels were always available to help. Rome and Capri Island were amazing Must go for Capri instead of Amalfi because of amazing beauty of islandAbhinav Saini
