Travel Guide
Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world, located inside Rome. It is home to Saint Peter’s Basilica, Saint Peter’s Square and the Vatican Museums, where visitors admire masterpieces like the Sistine Chapel. Most travellers combine Vatican sights with a wider stay in Rome, but the microstate itself leaves a strong impression.
