    About us:
    In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend's lists - but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, that’s kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.
    After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew - and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

    Great video. Very helpful. I recently spent 40 minutes waiting in line to get through security to enter the basilica. The line to visit the dome was another 30 minutes-pay for the elevator even though it serves only the first portion of the ascent. Tickets for the Vatican Museum were difficult to get online, but I persisted and was eventually able to purchase tickets from the official web site. I agree that it is wise to dedicate a whole day for visiting the Vatican. There is so much to see. Consider taking a break for lunch in the garden of the Vatican Museum (entry tickets required). Your videos helped me a lot on my recent trip to Italy. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for this video. It helped me to understand the scope of what is to be seen in the Vatican city. I have a few questions. Our cruise arrives at 8am on a Sunday in September and departs at 5pm. 1) Will any of the sites mentioned in Vatican city be closed to the public? 2) Would it be possible to visit the Pantheon? 3)Because this is our first time and the time is limited, what site
    should I not leave out? I watched your video seeing Rome in a day. My husband has mobility issues the Vatican city is top on his list to see.
    Any advice will be helpful.

      Thank you for your comment. Keep in mind that the train from the port to downtown takes about one hour. So you might not have time to see the Pantheon after the Vatican. The sites should be open but it might be really busy there because on Sunday the Pope does the blessing from the window in the piazza

    Fabulous video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!
