Vatican City
Vatican City
The basilica, the square, the museums and the gardens behind them.

Things to do
Up the dome of St Peter's
The staircase follows the curve of the dome and tilts with it; the reward is the whole of Rome and the gardens nobody else sees.
The scavi, under the basilica
A Roman street of tombs beneath the church, ending at what may be St Peter's grave. Twelve people at a time, booked by email, months ahead.
Accommodation & restaurants
EuropeDoor lists neither, yet. Both are business listings rather than editorial entries: they need an operator who claims them, a verification tier and a way to keep prices current, and all three are blocked on the same thing as everything else commercial here. How listings will work · what is built and what is blocked.
Publishing a scraped hotel list would be quick and would be the first unverified thing on this site. That is the trade being refused.
The record
What this atlas holds about Vatican City. The counts are derived from the region's own destinations and move when it does; the seasons and the daily cost belong to Vatican City and are repeated here rather than looked up.

Food, events and practicalities are on the country page
They belong to Vatican City rather than to Vatican City, and repeating them on every region page is how two copies of a fact start disagreeing. Vatican City →
