There are a few reasons why I think it is a good idea to attend religious services while traveling. For me, it gives me some “downtime”. It is a time for me to reconnect spiritually and to take a break from the excitement of being on the road. Sometimes it’s an opportunity to meet others, especially locals. I always feel welcome and in some cases, like a special guest. Lastly, but most importantly, it is an opportunity to make a spiritual connection which is absolutely necessary for me.
One time when I was in Paris I attended a Society of Friends (Quaker) meeting in Paris. It was only attended by a handful of people. Nevertheless, I was spiritually reinvigorated. As is the usual custom, there was a coffee hour after Meeting. It was one of the best opportunities I have ever had to socialize with other travelers and locals.
At the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome, there is a French church. I remember getting some respite from the heat and crowds. It is a beautiful church and I was surprised to hear Mass said in French, at the top of the Spanish Steps, in Rome.
Daniel Roth is regarded as one of the top master organists in the world. On most Sundays, he plays at the 10:30 a.m. mass at St. Sulpice in Paris. I have met people from all over the world who attend just for the opportunity to hear the 6,600 pipe organ play. Luckily, I was there once during the celebration of “St. Sulpice Day” and in French tradition, a welcome glass of wine was served after Mass in the church.
Palm Sunday Mass in Rome is an event. It almost has the air of a rock concert about it. People from all over the world crowd St. Peter’s Square. The Pope is live on stage. Giant TV’s placed strategically within the square gives an up-close view of all that is going on.

When we were in Nice, France a few years ago, we attended Mass in the Old Town section. Although it was in French, we felt very welcome and comfortable.

Attended Mass at St. Susanna, the American parish in Rome, which was a pleasure. It's run by the Paulist Fathers, and the church is one of the 25 oldest in Rome, filled with old frescoes and contains the crypt of St. Susanna, a Roman martyr. They have a Saturday night Mass, I think it's at 6PM, great for going prior to dinner out

On our last small group tour of Italy, about half the group (4 of us) took a 2-day extension of the trip to Venice. It exceeed my expectations in that it is more romantic than I could have possibly imagined. Venice is one of those unique places on earth because it really is a city built into the sea.
