Rome · YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED
How much does a Catholic pilgrimage to Rome cost?
Times, dates and prices on this page were checked against the official source on 2026-10-04 (Vatican: the papal basilicas). They change; confirm before you travel. Reviewed quarterly.
A 9–10 day Rome or Rome and Assisi pilgrimage from the U.S. commonly costs $4,000–$6,000 per person, double occupancy, including airfare, based on published 2025–2026 operator pricing. Airfare season, number of nights, room occupancy, group size, and included meals move the total within and beyond that range. Bold Pilgrim has not yet published a confirmed Rome fare. Request a written departure quote and compare its inclusions before setting your final budget.
