What is it like to visit Italy right now, in 2025, and beyond?
Well, Kat was just in Italy (right before the Conclave no less), and things are…pretty busy. It’s the Jubilee year in Rome and the Vatican. It is a holy year that occurs every 25 years with many events, the chance to go through holy doors in 4 churches in Rome, and more.
So, needless to say, it is busy in Rome, the Vatican, and honestly Italy in general. Because who goes to visit Rome and doesn’t also say, “Well…while we’re already in Italy...”
Things are going to be busy throughout this year, but Italy is and will always be popular. Overtourism is still on the rise, and I think tourism will still be high in the years to come in Italy.
That being said, there are ways to adjust, adapt, and even alter your plans to make it far more enjoyable. Whether you’re hoping to find words of encouragement before your visit to Rome this year or are trying to find lesser visited spots in Italy, this episode has you covered and more!
