Italy is always a dream destination, but visiting during the Jubilee Year offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with history, culture, and spiritual significance. Whether you're drawn to the rich heritage, the breathtaking landscapes, or the chance to participate in sacred traditions, the Jubilee Year is the perfect time to explore Italy. Here’s why you should start planning your Italian Jubilee journey today.

What is the Jubilee Year?

The Jubilee Year, also known as the Holy Year, is a special period in the Catholic Church that occurs approximately every 25 years, when millions of pilgrims travel to Rome to receive blessings, indulgences, and to celebrate faith and renewal. Jubilee is happening now and goes through January 6, 2026.

Travel Tips for Visiting Italy During the Jubilee Year:

✈️ 1. Book Early!

The Jubilee Year attracts millions of visitors, so flights, hotels, and tours will fill up quickly. Book accommodations and event tickets at least 6–12 months in advance for the best availability and pricing.

🚆 2. Use Public Transportation

Rome will be especially crowded, so using trains, buses, and the metro is the best way to get around. Consider purchasing an OMNIA Vatican & Rome Card, which offers skip-the-line access to key attractions and unlimited public transport.

🏨 3. Stay Near the Vatican or City Center

For easy access to Jubilee events, consider staying in areas like:

• Prati – Close to Vatican City, great for pilgrims.

• Trastevere – A charming neighborhood with historic streets and authentic dining.

• Centro Storico – Near Rome’s top attractions, ideal for sightseeing.

  
  

🛑 4. Watch for Security Measures

Due to large crowds, there will be increased security in and around Vatican City. Arrive early for major events and be prepared for bag checks at religious sites.

🌦️ 5. Pack for the Season

• Spring (March-May) – Mild weather, ideal for sightseeing.

• Summer (June-August) – Hot and crowded, wear light clothing.

• Fall (September-November) – Cooler temperatures, great for walking tours.

• Winter (December-February) – Chilly but festive, with fewer tourists.
