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 [[Simon 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]]. Among the closest hotels to the Vatican is BorgoNove, right along the border. This itinerary is for 1-2 nights, with an extra night for those willing to go to Mass. | |||
To get to the Vatican, you must first enter the [[Italy|Italian]] capital. It is easy to take the [[train]] to [[Rome]] from other cities in Italy, as well as other countries like [[Austria]]; if you're willing to take a domestic trip, [[Frecciarossa]] and [[Italo]] are your best bets. Flying into Rome is slightly more complex, as from [[Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport]], you'll have to take the [[Leonardo Express]] to [[Roma Termini railway station]]. | To get to the Vatican, you must first enter the [[Italy|Italian]] capital.

In [[Jet Lag: The Game]] season 13, the challenge for Italy was to draw [[The Creation of Adam]] from the [[Sistine Chapel]] while facing upwards, sort of like [[Michelangelo]]. Then someone had to identify it in a Google Form. | |||
