Vatican City is the smallest state on Earth and at the same time, one of the most intriguing cities in the world. People are mesmerized on what’s going on behind these walls and so Vatican City has lots of tourists the whole year round especially Catholic tourists. No wonder lots of tourists come here from New Year to Christmas. January 1 (New Year’s Day) is also the Feast of the Motherhood of Mary which is compulsory for Catholics to attend mass. And then there’s the Feast of the Epiphany three days later. Then there’s the start of Lent through Ash Wednesday. Then there’s Easter Sunday. And then Pentecost. And then it’s Advent season once again in December. In all of these holidays, tourists are always present.

That’s why if you want to go to Vatican City, always book ahead with your travel agent at least six months notice. One of the Hollywood movies which feature Vatican City that I like is Mission Impossible 3. In that movie, Tom Cruise got into the Vatican City in a rather extraordinary way. But if you want to go to Vatican City as a tourist, just simply hail a cab, ok?
