Saint Peter's across the Tevere - Vatican City

Vatican City, one of the smallest states in the world, where the heart of the Christian Church is held, and where everything is about God and about religion. A museum itself, the city has many things to offer, from the huge Saint Peter's Basilica to the amazing Sistine Chapel.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful surroundings
Cons:The richness of the church...
In a nutshell:A man-made city for God.

The Vatican is spectacular but the cheap prices for soccer shirts at the tourist booths on the streets nearby are incredible too. 5 euros for an Azzuri shirt--que milagro.
