Plan your trip to Vatican City on a Wednesday to have a chance to see the Pope. His weekly address will start at around 10.45am and last for quite some time. Would suggest going to the Vatican Museums first if you're not interested in what the Pope has to say and backtracking to St. Peter's Basilica later in the afternoon.
