Vatican City

Approx. Time: 5 hours
Activity Level: Easiest

A country unto itself in the midst of Rome, the spiritual heart of Catholicism, and an incredibly intense concentration of art and architecture, the Vatican city is a unique experience. Filled with such famous sights as the Saint Peter’s Basilica (Michelangelo’s creation), St. Peter’s Square (Bernini), the Vatican Museums, and of course the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican City is literally a treasure trove of beauty and history. Add the presence of the Pontiff and his Swiss Guards, and the biweekly audiences, and one has a truly unique combination.
