For a tour of the Vatican City, you should dedicate a whole day’s trip, and even then, you probably won’t have time to see and visit all the churches, buildings, squares, palaces, galleries, monuments and gardens in the Vatican area. Among the places that should be visited during a visit to the Vatican City:

· The well-known and large Piazza San Pietro, also known as Saint Peter’s Square .

· The impressive and famous Saint Peter’s Basilica, also known as Saint Peter’s Basilica .

· Ponte Sant’Angelo and Castel Sant’Angelo, which are about 750 meters east of Piazza San Pietro and the Basilica of San Pietro, between 6 and 10 minutes’ walk only. You will most likely pass through them when you come to the Vatican.

· The well-kept and beautiful Vatican Gardens (Vatican Gardens, Giardini Vaticani).

· The Vatican Museums (Vatican Museums, Musei Vaticani) and the Sistine Chapel.
