Things to do in Vatican City, Lazio: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
Sure, Vatican City is tiny—110 acres—but it houses the world's largest Catholic church (St. Peter's Basilica) and has perhaps the best collection of artistic masterpieces in the world (the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Pieta, the Laocoon Group, etc.). And maybe only 800 people live here, but one of them's the Pope. It's a pretty good argument for quality over quantity.

I was fortunate to be here for Christmas Mass one Year, the church is so charming, decorated so Beautifully for Christmas, the Parish people are beautiful, the Priest gave a beautiful Homily ( Italian ) the Presepio inside the back of the church was more Beautiful than the Vatican displayed, more authentic. even if you don't speak Italian, you can follow the mass. I highly recommend. December 2019**( the required date below does not give me that choice to choose )

This is an internal door within the Vatican City from the 17th century, manned by Swiss guards and is the entrance to the Apostolic Palace. It allows access the Royal stairs and to visit the Prefettura della Casa Pontificia (Prefecture of the Pontifical House). The Prefecture is where you get your tickets for the papal celebrations. These large doors are at the top of a flight of stairs flanked by two large marble columns and topped with 2 angelic figures and a large fresco of two saints and Madonna and child.
5. Vatican City
Arguably one of the finest Cathedrals in the entire world, St. Peter's is the spiritual center of the Vatican and the product of many of Italy's great Renaissance's architects, among them Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo.

If you are a Christian or not, must visit place Excellent architecture, well maintained, lots of historic spots and not easy to complete within in couple of hours if you wanted to go in detail. Be there early and get in easy into the church without much queue for security check If Pope blessings day or visit day be there little more early as there is more intensive checking Each groto or alter has separate stories to tell you so be there with persons who well aware of the church You have to agree that the Italian architecture is one of the most amazing in the world Rush after 10, may be difficult to spend more time each and every place
