The Vatican City is a small, independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy.
With an area of just over 44 hectares, and a population of just over 900, it is the smallest state in the world by both area and population. The Vatican City is a holy place for the Catholic Church, and the home of the Pope. It is also the site of many famous art and architectural treasures, including the Sistine Chapel.
Vatican City feels more like a massive museum than a proper city. As such, it is a pretty fantastic museum with more to see than one can handle in a day. Lots of paintings and sculptures by the masters of the past, and some impressive architecture as well.
Happy to have been. Wouldn't go back. Luckily it is surrounded by the amazing city of Rome, so there is immediate access to great food and fun as soon as you leave.
