Free tours in Vatican City

With only a population of 842 and an area of 0,44 km2 (0,17 sq mi), Vatican City is the smallest sovereign state in the world. But this country located in Rome, Italy is only tiny in numbers: A vast amount of history, culture and religion resides between its walls, along with the Pope himself, the world leader of the Catholic Church.

Famous chef-d'œuvres such as the Pietà can be seen after strolling through the beautiful St. Peter’s Square from which art is indeed only a few steps away. Vatican Museums house artworks from the best of the best, including Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment, located in the Sistine Chapel which is one of the main tourist attractions in the city. The St. Peter’s Basilica towers over the area, visibly standing out from Via della Conciliazione, the road that connects the square to Castel Sant’Angelo, and basically, Rome to the Vatican.
