I will be in Rome on December 8 which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. I know the Pope will be visiting the Spaniss Steps.
My questions is I don't want to get near that area as it will be mobbed, but how do I find the route he will take from the Vatican so that I can see him along the way? Is this something that is pre-published or well known to locals?
Any other advice for seeing the Pope on my visit (December 5-8) would be appreciated.
