Is Aventine Keyhole (Knights of Malta) worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

Aventine Keyhole (Knights of Malta) is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 10–15 min.

A genuinely magical 30-second trick: peer through an ordinary green door's keyhole and St Peter's dome sits perfectly framed by a hedge-lined path. It's free and charming, but it's a single photo op with often a short queue, so treat it as a delightful add-on to the Orange Garden next door.
