Explore the Vatican & the Museums

Pay a visit to the Vatican, the smallest independent state in the world. The one-of-a-kind site, along with its fabulous museum, includes numerous unique points of interest, thus, the best ways to explore it all is on a guided tour. Listen to the narratives of a professional guide to become better acquainted with the history of captivating sights and exhibits, including the private apartments of Julius II, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Sistine Chapel, the St. Peterโ€™s Basilica, and more.

The Vatican is actually the only country in the world to be entirely designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Country. Despite measuring only 0.44 sq km (0.17 sq mi) in size, it has its own army, a football team, and even an ATM in Latin! It also houses the shortest railway in the world, with two tracks stretching for 300 meters (984 ft).

Before visiting the Vatican and its Museums, make sure to wear proper clothing, covering your shoulders, arms and lower legs, and leave all large bags at the cloakroom.
