St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City 梵蒂岡, Rome Italy 2013 羅馬意大利自由行

Ok, lets continue with my Italy travel post. This post is related to those places we went on Day 2. I watch again  movie " Angels and Demons" before go Italy, and I was so excited and looking forward to see those places especially Vatican City that shown in the movie. And I also learnt that Vatican City is a smallest country/state in the world.

We reached there before 9am, already long line up to enter St.Peter's Basilica (for security check before enter).

Another must do when you visit Vatican city, send postcard from the post office here. They have their own stamp. I also did the same thing, sent back 3 postcards for my kids from this smallest country in the world !!

After we exit from St.Peter's Basilica, we saw the Q even longer, even U turn back, hahaha..
While we blessed we did not go through such long Q, we did not realized our next stop that took us 1 and 1/2hr for the Q, LOL.

I love Rome! I can still remember I survived on penne pasta the whole trip cos back then I do not like Western food so if I go there again, I will enjoy the food far more better.

Sonia, do you need special visa to enter Vatican city? How far is it from St. Peter's Basilica? Mode of transport? How many do you need to cover must visit places in Vatican?

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Caca, don't need any Visa to enter. We took train from the station near our hotel in Roma to Vatican and journey was about 5mins, even you can walk to there, maybe about one hour, in fact we walked back from Vatican till hotel ..Vatican is very small place , we just visited this church and a museum , don't think there are any more places to visit .

Caca said...

Thanks Sonia. Hopefully, I could visit this place next year.
