The official World Youth Day program contains a week-long program of events.
Below is a snapshot of the WYD08 week by day. Please click on the relevant section for more information on each event, including where you can see the Pope, the best public vantage points and exciting events as part of the Youth Festival.
During WYD08 there will be big screens operating around the city screening all of the major events live, so you can be part of this historic event.
Of course we'd love you to register as a pilgrim, but if you just want to come along you are welcome.
