The Vatican is the smallest country that you'll visit on the Best of Europe tour but for its size it has the largest collection of art and history that you will find anywhere in Europe.
As you make your way through the Vatican you really need to keep your head on a swivel so that you can see everything. Every wall is covered with tapestries, paintings, and statues. It boggles the mind at how such a small area can contain such treasures.
St Peter's Basilica is an amazing and an imposing building. It is so large that it is hard to fathom how it was built prior to modern construction techniques. It is almost indescribable the feelings that you swirl through your head while you are inside. It is both heavy and imposing and yet light and ethereal at the same time.
