The Vatican is the world's smallest sovereing state and came when Mussolini ceded the area to the Pope. It consist primarily of the St. Peter's, the Piazza St. Peter, the Vaticana museums and a series of adminstrative and living quarters.
The Vatican is very popular, I made the mistake of thinking it would help to get there early and get in line for the Vatican Museum. ! hr before opening the line was longer than a 1mile. I watied till after lunch and the line was shorter. The secret here is that the tours bus try to get in first thing in the morning. |
