Exploring the Vatican area – the City within the Eternal City<\/h2>\n

Rome, with all its size, history and grandeur, is an awe-inspiring city. However, as we have covered in a previous post<\/a>, the main attractions can be found in an area small enough that getting around to all of them is easy!<\/p>\n

So why not spend your next trip to Rome near the Vatican<\/a> – the city within the city! The smallest state in the world by population and area, Vatican City is surrounded by Rome, with the Pope as the head of state. <\/p>\n

Don’t worry, you don’t need a passport or a visa to enter Vatican City – access to Saint Peter’s Square & Basilica are free of charge, while the Vatican Museum charges an entrance fee, but it is worth it for the experience of the Sistine Chapel (just be prepared to queue to get in!)<\/p>\n

Monastery Stays<\/a> works with a range of guest houses near the Vatican, catering to the different needs and requirements of travellers. There are even two guest houses where you can stay on official Vatican City territory – now that is a once in a lifetime experience! Read on to find our where…<\/p>\n

Located north-west of the center of Rome, the area around the Vatican<\/a> is known as the Prati district. Easily accessible, beautiful and popular!<\/p>\n

The Vatican<\/a> and all it has to offer is often stop number one for visitors to Rome. But this part of the city has so much more to offer than St Peter’s Square!<\/p>\n
