New Pope, New Roads, New Problems

👉 ⁠⁠For all show notes & recommendations⁠⁠👉 ⁠⁠To book the best Vatican & Rome tours⁠⁠

In this episode, we break down all the chaos and changes happening in Rome and what they mean for travelers heading to Europe in 2025. With a new American pope, a record-breaking Jubilee year, and a brand-new EU visa requirement, it’s safe to say Rome (and the rest of Europe) is not business as usual. We’re joined by travel expert Angel Castellanos, who just completed the Jubilee pilgrimage and shares insider tips on avoiding the insane 10-football-field-long lines, visiting the pope’s new tomb, and navigating the Vatican like a pro. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning visitor, this is the episode you need before booking your 2025 trip.
