[2025 Vatican Attraction] Travel Guide for St. Peter Square Obelisk (Updated May)

#0yentravel The Vatican City is the smallest country in the world, but it has a lot to see. There are the Vatican Museums, which house many technical works, the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment," and St. Peter's Basilica, the headquarters of the Catholic Church. If you don't like waiting in line, it's recommended to go early in the morning. Why not visit? 📍Location: Piazza San Pietro, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City

Vatican City, the "smallest country in the world," is located right next to Rome! The scale of St. Peter's Basilica, both inside and out, was amazing, and I was completely overwhelmed✨ I recommend going first thing in the morning, as there are fewer people and you can take your time looking around! By the time I left, there was a very long line... Another thing that left an impression on me was the yellow postbox that is only available in the Vatican! You can send postcards from here, so why not write a letter to yourself or a friend as a memento of your trip✉️ ℹ️ ・Access: Walkable from central Rome. The nearest station is Ottaviano Station on the subway line A ・Admission fee: Free for St. Peter's Basilica, paid for the dome and museum (smooth if you make a reservation online) ・Time required: Half a day to a full day ・Clothing: Wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees! ・Closed days: The museum is closed on Sundays and public holidays, and the last Sunday of the month is a free admission day and gets very crowded. ・Yellow postboxes: Around St. Peter's Square #VaticanCity #Italy #EuropeTrip #ItalyTrip

I visited St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City! The grandeur of the exterior is overwhelming, but once inside, it's even more impressive. The ceiling decorations, mosaics, and the beautifully shining altar are all worth seeing in detail. It's a very popular tourist spot, so I recommend going as early in the morning as possible! I visited just after the gates opened, so there were relatively few people and I was able to enjoy it in a quiet atmosphere. In the afternoon, there are long lines, so if you visit with plenty of time, you can enjoy it comfortably. It's a spot you definitely can't miss if you come to Rome! Please note that the papal mass is often held in the square on Sunday mornings, and viewing inside the cathedral may be restricted. If you want to see it thoroughly as a general tourist, it is recommended to visit early in the morning on a day other than Sunday 🌟 #0 yen travel February 2025
