The epicenter of Roman Catholicism, St. Peter's Basilica is centered in Vatican City. If you've come hoping to catch a glimpse of the pope, you should consider attending the Wednesday General Audience, when he address the crowd in St. Peter's Square with prayers and songs. Many visitors enjoy trekking to the top of the dome to take in a panorama of Rome's spectacular landscape. Keep in mind that this is an active church with daily Mass services. Likewise, a stringent dress code is enforced: No short skirts, hats or bare shoulders.
