THE VATICAN | Catholics Holy City (We Saw The Pope!)

[@travelingkakabsat]

Proud to have been able to take my mom here a few years ago, she was 85 then. For such a devoted catholic, she appreciated it

[@isaacbulay4061]

Grandeur is the word comes to mind. Speechless at best. I grew up Catholic so I can relate as far what nuns tried to describe Thank you so much for an in depth tour. Rest up and get a massage! 😊

[@ronbeaubien]

Heck, I see it the other way... The Pope was lucky that he was able to see Chris and Carol on a random Wednesday morning!

[@JumpingPlaces]

haha

[@sandralevi2915]

😂😂😂❤👍

[@monikastadnik]

Amazing as always. And CAN NOT wait for Croatia serials as I was born there although I live in Germany 5y now. 🥳🙌🏻

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Absolutely. 🤣👍😊

[@alfs3]

Yeah we JUST missed them in Rome and feel the same way 😢

[@victoriatorcolini4410]

By far one of your most beautiful and impressive videos. 🙏🌞 I've been to the Vatican twice, but your video allowed me to see things I had not seen before. Thank you, Carol and Chris. I will be watching this video again. ❤️🥰🙏🏆

[@janicestewart6116]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Thank you so much for taking me along! OX from America

[@OISaviour]

Wow! Thank you, seriously. We've gotten to see the Vatican and parts of Rome vicariously, and it was beautiful to get that, and a lot of steps for you both.

[@ellasaraharetha]

Thank you so much for taking us to Rome. Some of us will never get to go but your video was gorgeous and made us feel like we were there. So much history. Wish you could do more there but we appreciate this tribute. You both feel like family to us. Love and blessings.

[@jamestaylor6053]

Wow, you "got the ultimate Vatican experience because we were 5 feet away from the Pope", so lucky! As a history buff as well as a lover of architecture and arts, this video is so overwhelming to me in many positive ways despite the facts I've visited Vatican museum 3 times so far. I hope you've seen La Pietà di Michelangelo inside Vatican, one of my most favorite artworks. Italy is my most favorite country in the world, where I've been over a dozen of times, most likely it'll be my retirement country in the future. It's always my wish to drive through entire country to have the ultimate experience of Italy with the locals, food, wine, nature, history, arts and far more. I'll be in Europe in 2 weeks, hopefully I can make it to Italy again. By the way, the weather is so gorgeous as your first video in Rome, the Eternal City! I'm looking forward to your travel in Croatia!

[@scottgordon1781]

Basically front row , so cool !

[@alfs3]

5 mins in wife asks…..”Why isn’t Carol in her bikini in the fountain….what kind of show is this?” 😂

[@petern6808]

Hope you visit Slovenia as well…..it’s really amazing and a bit off the tourist trail

[@briansmout6734]

It is ALWAYS nice giving the date when the film was made.

[@lazarjd]

Your travel videos are unique. So chill and relatable. Like how I would want to travel the world.

[@cathyemmerson471]

Rome is a wonderful and beautiful place. Italy is a beautiful place. You were blessed in seeing the pope, what a wonderful surprise! My husband and I honeymooned in Italy in 1981 and toured the Vatican, Rome, Trevi Fountain, Florence Venice, Mulan, Piza and lots and lots more. We'll never forget the experience of Italy. It will always be crowded at the Vatican, especially in the summer months. So much has been added and remodeled since we were there. You couldn't even go inside the Colosseum because of the ruins, just lots of feral cats living there. Nice video, brought back loving memories. Thank you!

[@joseacevedo914]

What breathtaking views guys! So incredible! Thank you for bringing us with you there. You're the best travelers to keep going with this.

[@goodphone156]

However the Vatican remains a spectacular and admired place to visit , for its immense beauty, for its richness in history, in art and more !! Because basically I think that the Vatican, like of all Italy, is kissed by the grace of the divine touch !! VIVA the Vatican, VIVA Italy, VIVA Europe!!

[@travelingkakabsat]

Hopefully, you’ll cross the pond across to Croatia. Would love to see your take of the country!

[@suewellings4500]

Thank you both for taking me to this most magical place. I have always dreamed of visiting Rome and look forward to you returning to explore more of Italy.

[@minimini5721]

It is a blessing for you 2. No more food poisoning for you guys

[@RowenaKWong]

Rome has not changed much since my first visit in 1997. I was not as lucky as you are in terms of the Pope during my visits to Rome. The tradition of a Wednesday public audience does not always guarantee that the visitors could see the Pope. Thank you so much for sharing your Roman visit. I love the Eternal City.

[@01FozzyS]

Wow, can't get any closer to the Pope than that! Once in a lifetime. Catholic here and I would have been in awe if I was there. Thanks for sharing,Chris and Carol!

[@MichaelKilby]

Thank you for these videos. Amazing!

[@PerfumedByTheSea]

Loved being in Rome and the Vatican City. The next time you visit Rome I would highly recommend getting over to Tivoli. There is a villa there which me and my son loved watching around. It’s about an hour from Rome, and so worth seeing. Hoping you guys get over to the Greek Islands this summer again too!

[@MapManLK]

ThankYouThankYouThankYou! You had shots I have never seen or *thought* I would see -- the tour in the upper reaches of the dome most notably. Have enjoyed the Rome vids a LOT! Happy Trails! 😎

[@madhukarmaddipatla5734]

You are very lucky! Seeing Vatican, the Basilica and the crypts itself is a privilege - seeing Pope is just icing on the cake - the whole place even though crowded, brings calmness and spiritual - I am not even Christian but easily one of the best places I have ever seen

[@Moto883fun]

Thanks!

[@JumpingPlaces]

Thanks for the support! :D

[@fosterapp]

What an outstanding tour Chris and Carol! I’m glad you were able to take me to the top of the dome to see that epic view of the Vatican City and Rome! I didn’t have such luck years back at Il Duomo in Florence as my fear of heights kicked in when I was at the lower part of the dome, yikes. A marvelous viewing experience as always you two ❤

[@helennuttall]

Such beautiful and interesting sights but oh so crowded! Can’t wait for Croatia, it’s my favourite place 😍 although the beaches will be busy there at this time too!

[@adrianaeren5512]

Good for you guys, very lucky to see the pope. Last year when I was there, we couldn't see him 💔 he was sick in the hospital. The Vatican was amazing. Enjoy it guys.

[@ayhansimsek8506]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. Rome is a very beautiful old city.

[@joshthompson2362]

This Rome series has been very enjoyable

[@jp77-cn9rf]

You guys are both very cute and your videos are amazing. Very informative and insightful. I felt like I was in Rome-haven’t been in years😢. Please more Italia! Bari-across from Croatia, Pompei, Napoli, Firenze… 😊

[@southpawjab4749]

Hoping and praying for some Greek content after Croatia! Think you guys would have a blast on the Ionian Islands (Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Paxos, etc). And then there is the whole Peloponnese to explore. So many great places to go!

[@tombulek5231]

Glad you mention Sabah,Malaysia 😊. Im from Sabah. Nice vlog of Vatican City ❤❤❤

[@aris1956]

11:15 It is certainly worth going up there, making that effort and then seeing that splendid panorama, unique in the world, of St. Peter's Square and all of Rome !

[@jorgemoll5994]

Very beautuful place to visit!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ricardotongol567]

Totally awesome, a holiest day for you and Carol. Thank you for sharing.

[@Katubemeow]

So many people want to see the Pope, and you just saw it by chance. That's great. I think no matter how you prepare to visit the Vatican you always end up exhausted. Unless you do it multiple days. Nice video.

[@mstallion98]

Awesome video of Rome and the Vatican. You guys are certainly blessed with seeing the Pope. I loved your views of the Vatican. I was also able to go to the top of St Peters. Also, I remember going to some famous square for dinner one night and having a few to many glasses of wine with my new Swedish friends. It was awesome. Go luck on your future travels.

[@rogerwright3816]

Congratulations, you have outdone all youtubers with this one.

[@joywatts4839]

Excellent camera work and lovely chill music thank you.

[@lgaerlan7048]

Thanks for the night tours in Rome. I enjoyed it so next time I visit I’ll definitely wander at night. Last month I was in Milan. 😊😍

[@glw17]

Great video. i went there in the mid 90s. such a beautiful, magical place

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Thanks you guys so much for this new remarkable video from the Vatican City, Vatican this gone weekend in Europe to shows the World’s smallest country in June of 2024❤❤❤

[@mariobucci7683]

Great Video what Great filming of the Vatican. Never realized how big the church is.

[@jdutchlol4689]

Those mosaics were amazing!!! Can't believe you saw the Pope! Great video as always ❤❤

[@enricocurcio1610]

Acho que esse foi o melhor vídeo sobre o vaticano que eu já vi, não sabia que o papa aparecia assim periodicamente, sempre vejo apenas em noticiários quando tem evento, e também ninguém nunca filmou essa parte de baixo da basilica onde ficam as tumbas, muito completo, parabéns pelo video guys

[@rosadeburgo8763]

Another awesome video! Wishing you the best!🥰

[@irisessex7863]

Seeing the Pope could be your eighth wonder, Chris and Carol, please take me with you on your amazing travels❤Luv Italy❤

[@ylocoslovakia]

Lucky you! We wait for hours just to get a glimpse of the pope fr afar. 💕🙏👏

[@jesseroche7223]

I'll be there next month. So this video was good timing. Enjoy your videos. Been watching you guys since the mexico videos.

[@aurorajones4837]

When you were climbing the spiral staircase where it was narrower the higher you climbed - reminded me of climbing a similar narrow staircase to the crown of the Statue of Liberty (Ellis Island, NY). As Carol said - claustrophobia big time! We had to convince our 10 yr old son to keep going because there was no option to turn around to go down. Unforgettable experience - not wanting to repeat it.

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Chris and Carol Safe Travels Watching from Canada🙂❤👍

[@twe73jr]

Nice video, thank you for sharing 🙏✌️

[@Richard2003]

The museum tour was fantastic. We had our own guide and he was great. This was in 2016. No security then except for some police.

[@scottgordon1781]

Walking up the spiral staircase , did the ' Scot Memorial in Edinburgh , last step to the top , blerry cannon went off at midday :-)

[@aurorajones4837]

I forgot to mention as regards your beautifully shot videos in Japan (a bucket list destination for us) that you can experience the beauty and aroma of Japanese cherry blossom trees in full bloom in Vancouver around April!

[@diarmuidlong5540]

Great to see the Vatican, lovely video.

[@simplydifferent.]

This was such a cool video, well done 👌 My suggestion was going to be to visit Croatia and now that you've said it I'm so excited for you! Welcome to my beautiful country and hopefully you'll love it ❤ Please don't focus just on Dubrovnik area because there are so many other places to see: Krka national park, Plitvice national park, birthplace of Nikola Tesla in Smiljan, Istria region (wine region), capital of Croatia Zagreb, Slavonia and Zagorje region... I could go on and on. Make sure not to miss the island such as Korcula, Brac, Losinj, Cres, Krk (with it's wineyards and the smallest street in the world!). Pula in Istria region also has a colloseum build by the Romans 😊 Can't wait for your next videos ❤

[@litabiske5409]

Italians to take so much time in detail to the gorgeous churches marble, Gold, etc.

[@tally1604]

It was busier last December. I couldn't believe the crowds. They had to limit the amount of time you could spend in some rooms in the Vatican, like the Sistine Chapel.

[@lukasrowlinhelcky5731]

Ave Cristo Rey to Catholic brothers and sisters

[@doodsanddudes]

We had the opposite experience. We ate a breakfast in a Vatican courtyard on a Wednesday morning and didn’t find out until after breakfast that he was there. Still an amazing experience to have a morning in a courtyard but we will know for next time. ✝️ the church is just so impressive.

[@R_CA]

you can bypass lines by visiting the musuem with a tour operator (they leave you alone after security) and then go into St Pierre by the not so secret "cardinals path" from the Sisten Chapel :)

[@ntorres83]

Great videos guys!! Drop Mega and I a line when in town

[@jadziak6997]

Wow I've been to the Vatican but didn't take the tour, I'm surprised you can walk next to (and touch?) the mosaics. There's so much to see in Rome, and we only had 2 days there! :-)))))))

[@kleahm]

What a sight❤ It must feel like a dream going there.

[@miguelarias2199]

Absolutely beautiful

[@scottgordon1781]

Good afternoon from here , when in Rome :-)

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Wow, that brought back memories. Brilliantly filmed. I'm not a Christian myself. I don't know what I am anymore.😂🇮🇪💙🇮🇹

[@jovicakomazec510]

Wow… that looks impressive!

[@meryuk]

We Have a Pope or Habemus Papam is such a great film! (Italian) This video as well 🙂👍

[@capstone9173]

Boa tarde! Thank you for the video. St Peters Baldachin (or canopy) that was shrouded when you visited, was actually constructed in the 1630s. They are renovating it for the Catholic Jubilee of 2025. That is why most of the construction is happening in Rome now. Tchau.

[@karendelaney9568]

Beautiful…Awesome video

[@mcristinacamacho]

Emocionante!

[@SomeDutchGuy]

What a wonderful experience! Many years ago I spent 2 days in the museum, even that was not enough. Just wondering, did you see Michaelangelo's "La Pieta" in the Basilica?

[@rheffner3]

You should have taken a tour. You visit the museum and then get into the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peters with no hassle. Well worth the 50 euros or so that it costs. And did you do the coolest thing to do at the Vatican? There are two spots. One of each side of the big square where if you stand on them, the multiple columns disappear and you can only see one. Pretty cool. Ah, you did take a tour. lol. Scusi. The Map Room is the coolest place in the museum. Saying that as a geographer.

[@juliasgioielleria7581]

Thank you for sharing

[@dentaltok]

Wow ….so much “Pope and ceremony “ lol … Nice tour and narrative 💖🙋‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️🇨🇦 May I suggest Bella Coola and Haida Gwaii visit BC 🇨🇦. Natural magic …nature grandeur spiritual ..🤟

[@aris1956]

Indeed, not everyone is fortunate enough to go to visit the Vatican City in Rome and then see the Pope pass by on camera. 😊

[@BiffJohnsonIII]

0:23 why is there a masonic phallic obelisk taken from ancient egypt in the background?

[@scottgordon1781]

Only 800 + - actual residents , strictly Papal ? Place looks big enough to house many more . Who cleans the place , cooks all the food ? Can imagine what is must have been like when these places were built , the mosaics are labour intensive . And way back then , they built those domes , and then painted them :-) A good few metres in the air :-) Domes are cool , are they easy to make ? St Pauls , a couple in Malta , Grand Mosque in Cairo is huge , St Marks in Venice , days of creation etc :-)

[@vickig6080]

Awesome video! Blessings from the Pope are very special. Same happened for me unexpectedly when we were there on a Saturday and he was addressing the crowd. Did not get to see St. Peter's basilica in person, but you guys have shown it beautifully. I need to go back!!

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Congratulations to you guys to be abled to see the “Holy Father or The Pope” riding in his car @ the Vatican this gone weekend in June of 2024❤❤❤
