As the smallest sovereign state in the world, the Vatican is also very walkable. Most visitors to the Vatican flock to Saint Peter's Square, named in honour of [[Saint Peter|one]] of the [[Twelve Apostles]] and who Catholics believe is the first pope. For an extra treat, spend Saturday strolling around the [[Vatican Museums]] and gazing in awe at the ceiling of the [[Sistine Chapel]] as it was painted by [[Michelangelo]]. If you're a Catholic, spend Sunday at [[Saint Peter's Basilica]], the largest [[church]] in the world, during [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]]. | As the smallest sovereign state in the world, the Vatican is also very walkable.
