Saint Mary Major Basilica of Pope Francis
Visitors enter with the guide and can visit the tomb of Pope Francis, the beautiful basilica. Still inside the basilica, visitors can admire the relic of the manger of Baby Jesus and the miraculous icon of the Salus Populi Romani (patroness of Rome). Inside the basilica, the miraculous snowfall is recreated every 5th of August, a wonderful cascade of white petals falling from above.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
