2016 Jubilee: Low-cost accommodation in Rome and the rest of Italy

  2015-12-17

The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, declared by Pope Francis and which began on 8 December 2015, will conclude on 20 November 2016, bringing millions of worshippers from all over the world to Italy and specifically, to Rome. The 2016 Jubilee is in fact an extraordinary religious event due to its sheer size and above all because it does not fall within the traditional Roman Catholic calendar. The calendar of events for the 2016 Jubilee is provided below:

  • 19 - 21 January 2016: Jubilee for all pilgrims
  • 10 February 2016: sending forth of missionaries of mercy
  • 3 April 2016: celebration of volunteers (movements, associations, religious institutes
  • 24 April 2016: meeting of young people, aged 13 to 16
  • 29 May 2016: meeting of deacons
  • 3 June 2016: Jubilee for Priests and meeting of priests
  • 12 June 2016: meeting with sick and disabled persons and with their carers
  • 26 July - 1 August 2016: World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow (Poland)
  • 4 September 2016: meeting with volunteers (movements, associations, religious institutes)
  • 9 October 2016: the world of Marian spirituality
  • 6 November 2016: Jubilee for Prisoners dedicated to those serving prison sentences

If, with its many churches and holy sites located throughout the country, Italy is already a favourite destination for religious tourism, the 2016 Jubilee will bring enormous growth in the demand for accommodation, especially low-cost. Booking early in the areas around Rome and Vatican City is the best way to save money. Here are some ideas from Campeggi.com for camp sites and tourist villages:
