Book Your Spot Now to See the Shroud of Turin in April-May 2010

by (this is the English page – you can change the language at the top if you wish), read the instructions, and follow the prompts – starting with the “Next” button at the bottom of the first page. A visit is roughly three minutes long, and completely free of charge.

As mentioned, weekend days are almost all booked up as I write this – but midweek days are much more open in terms of booking availability. This could be good for travelers for whom weekdays don’t mean “workdays” – and, at least at the moment, visiting on a weekday will definitely mean smaller crowds as well.

So, who’s going to Turin this Spring to see the Shroud?
