Although you can visit the world’s smallest country by yourself, a Vatican guided tour gives you an insider’s view. This tiny state is entirely surrounded by the city of Rome, boasts its own stamps and currency, and is of course the home of the Pope and Catholic church. A tour will typically take in the Vatican Museum, one of the world’s greatest museums and home to over 50 different galleries. Highlights include the Renaissance art collection and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo. The other must see site in the Vatican is the huge St. Peter’s, one of the largest churches anywhere in the world. The church is said to be the burial place of the apostle Peter. Although some areas of the Vatican remain off limits, a tour will let you experience the best of this fascinating place.
