Vatican City, Italy - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Vatican City in Italy -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hey, this is your host, Naomi. I would like to give you a tour of the top five attractions of Vatican City.

Number five: St. Peter's Square. Vatican City is the home of the Pope. In a small area you'll find many attractions, like the St. Peter's Square where many ceremonies are held.

Number four: Vatican Guards. These are the famous Swiss Guards of the Vatican. Although a major tourist draw, they have the serious responsibility of protecting the Pope.

Number three: Vatican museums. Even though it's the world's smallest country, the museums here are among the best in the world. They hold numerous art works of historical significance.

Number two: gardens. Not many people know that gardens in the Vatican are also an attraction. Take time to explore these gems where you'll find beautifully landscaped areas.

And number one: St. Peter's Basilica. It's the central landmark of the Vatican, considered one of the holiest Christian sites. Visitors come from all over to enjoy its beauty.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time!

Are there people that actually live, go to school, etc. there. Or is this city made for catholicism & art only?

I would really love to live in Italy. I'm a Catholic, too, and would love to become orthodox.
