This sounds exactly like what I want to do. Just the Basilica of St. Peter. I will than taxi to Trevi. Have done Rome a few times and just want to revisit a few places. Thanks

I've asked this ?? before, but just trying to get a handle on it. Been to the Vatican a few times, but more than 10 years ago. We just walked right into the Basilica without any lines or waiting. I'm going in Sept. and I'm hearing of long lines and waits just to get in the church. We are not going to do the museum or Sistine Chapel. Do I need to buy tickets to get in and to avoid the wait in lines as I know entrance is free?

They are taking reservations up until the end of Aug, but I'm surprised they haven't answered you. Let me know if they reply??

thanks

Have stayed at the Hotel Jazz before and liked it, but it has no availability in Sept. Any suggestions??

This has been a great review. Leaving on Sept 4th. Two days pre cruise in Venice, than the train down to Trieste the day before,(have already booked). Will overnight in Trieste and cab it to the port. Hopefully ship will be a little more lively.
