The smallest country in the world has the largest church in the world

Having come to Rome, how can one miss the St. Peter's Basilica? This largest church in the world is located in the smallest country in the world. It is a 'city within a city' in Rome, and entering from Rome feels not at all like leaving the country, but rather like walking from one neighborhood to another. ⛪️ But this church is one of the most famous churches in the world. 🎫 Tickets: Visiting St. Peter's Basilica is free, but if you want to climb to the top, you need a ticket for 8 euros per person. ⌚️ It is recommended to come early in the morning to visit, otherwise, whether entering the church or climbing to the top, you will have to wait in a long line. Climbing to the top is highly recommended, although it requires walking up 551 steps, and the staircase is very narrow and tiring. Alternatively, you can choose the elevator + stairs option, which costs 10 euros per person, but you still have to climb 320 steps after getting off the elevator. Although it's tiring, the view from the top is really great, so be sure to bring a camera! ⚠️ Note: St. Peter's Basilica has certain dress requirements: Tops must have sleeves and should not expose the shoulders. Bottoms must be knee-length pants or a long skirt. ⛪️ Recommended visiting route: Egyptian Gallery - Pinecone Courtyard - New Wing Corridor - Octagonal Courtyard - Muse Hall - Hall of the Gods - Gallery of Maps - Raphael's Rooms - xi Sistine Chapel
