About

Vatican City may be the world's smallest independent state, but it offers a wealth of experiences for those who visit. At the heart of this city-state lies St. Peter's Basilica, a monumental symbol of the Catholic Church, where visitors can marvel at Michelangelo's Pietà and climb to the top of the dome for a panoramic view of Rome. The grandeur of St. Peter's Square, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, serves as the focal point for thousands of pilgrims during papal audiences and ceremonies.
