The Epitome of a City-State
Vatican City is a unique little country, literally the
smallest country by population and area in the world. Nestled on a hill in the city of Rome, it
provides a number of things to do for daytime visitors whether catholic or
not. We set aside one of our three days
in Rome to explore the more popular attractions of Vatican City.

| Saint Peter's Square with its Egyptian Obelisk is all that remains of the Roman stadium that once occupied the site. Saint Peter's Basilica with the largest unsupported dome in the world is in the background. |
