Rome is gearing up for a Jubilee, projected to attract 35 million visitors in 2025, a significant rise from 13 million in 2023. This event is a major pilgrimage opportunity for Catholics worldwide, marking a time for forgiveness and reflection.
The Jubilee, starting on Christmas Eve 2025 and concluding on January 6, 2026, will feature events dedicated to various communities, with Pope Francis declaring it the Year of Prayer and inviting pilgrims into holy sites.
Linda Martinez, co-owner of a local hostel, recommends that anyone planning to visit Rome during the Jubilee should book accommodations and major sights like the Colosseum well in advance to navigate the expected influx of visitors.
The opening of the Holy Doors at St. Peter’s Basilica symbolizes the start of the Jubilee and aims to enhance the spiritual experience for pilgrims, as they journey through significant religious sites in Rome.
