About Vatican City
A visit to Rome is not complete without seeing the Vatican, which is its own unique state within the Italian city. Vatican City, also known as the Holy See, has an open border with Italy, and tourists line up to gain entrance into the famed St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museum, which is home to some of the world’s most famous art. The rest of the state, including where the Pope lives and works, is not open to tourists.
top Tips for travelling to Vatican City
Ensure your clothing is appropriate for the holy institution or you will be denied entry to some areas. Don’t let the ancient twisting stone staircase fool you; the painful walk up St Peter’s Basilica is worth the spectacular view from the top. Mark the occasion by sending yourself a postcard from inside the Vatican and you’ll get home to a special postmark from the Vatican City’s own postal system.
