Vatican City is the world's smallest independent nationally recognized country and an enclave of the city of Rome. It is the headquarters of the Catholic Church and home to the pope.
Itinerary
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 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.
To get to the Vatican, you must first enter the 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.
