If you're thinking of coming to the Youth Jubilee, grab a pen and paper and take notes. The Youth Jubilee will last an entire week: from Monday, July 28 to Sunday, August 3.
The first thing you should know is where it will be held. Unlike other events of the Holy Year, the Youth Jubilee moves its stage away from St. Peter’s.
It won’t take place in the Vatican, but rather at this location you see here - the large university area of Tor Vergata. Specifically, the name you'll need to enter into your GPS is ‘Vela di Calatrava.’ It had been abandoned for several years, but now it has been renovated to host this Jubilee. As you can see, work is still ongoing.
So, how do you get there? There are several options. By public transport, you can take Metro line C. The stop is called Giardinetti, and there will also be additional bus services and nearly 9,000 parking spaces made available for vehicles.
Given the summer heat and high temperatures in Rome, the venue is prepared to distribute around 5 million bottles of water. There will also be more than 2,600 water points. As for bathrooms, there will be about 3,000, including accessible ones for people with disabilities.
Everything is ready to host the flagship event of this Jubilee, which is expected to welcome over half a million young people from 146 countries.
