Vatican, when I was in the sixth grade of primary school or the first grade of junior high school, there was a textbook called geography, I don't know if you remember, there was a brief introduction to the Vatican, since then I knew this place, I didn't expect that one day I would step into its borders, this small country is located in Rome, Italy, belongs to China, after I went to finally know how small it is, just as big as our square, I heard that there are only more than 600 people, and foreigners cannot be naturalized, and the native people digest internally.

The location of the Vatican
The Vatican implements a hereditary system, the per capita income is relatively high, the main income comes from religion and tourism, to be honest, I was dazzled and dazzled by visiting the Vatican's museums, those works of art, sculptures and buildings are too graceful and luxurious, in the Vatican, the vision is the smell of money, and the masterpieces in the collection are extremely shocking to see with my own eyes.

And today I will not give you an introduction to the attractions of the Vatican one by one, because there are too many in the headlines, just search for it and come out, today I will introduce you to some things other than the attractions, if you think I am talking well, please give me a thumbs up and support, thank you.
First: Go to the Vatican must visit the museum, you have to buy a reservation ticket a month in advance, if you go to the site to buy a ticket on the same day, then you may spend a day in the queue, because there are too many tourists around the world, and the museum is relatively large, the best way is to buy a reservation ticket 1 month in advance to skip the line, the official website will receive an email after booking, including the reservation code and reservation voucher, be sure to print the voucher and then redeem the paper ticket on the spot.
Choose a ticket with lunch on the official website, about 40 euros (310 yuan), don't choose the basic ticket, because lunch is not included, otherwise you will go hungry to visit and lose more than you gain, and you will not let in if you want to buy something to eat and then go in, and the ticket with breakfast feels that there is no need to choose, because according to the habits of our people, they eat outside in the morning and then go in to play, and then eat in it at noon by the way, and continue to visit in the afternoon.
This is a visit to the Vatican Museums has been redeemed, just 2 small paper cards, in the Vatican Museums after entering the location, see the counter with Reception can be exchanged for paper tickets, including meals will give meal receipts, keep it to the restaurant and give the staff a meal.
This is the lunch included in the ticket to the Vatican Museums, to be honest, the taste is not very good, at least I am not used to eating it, a pasta with a garlic carrot and a little meat, a bread and a small duck pear, no drink, there is no boiling water in it, if you want to drink water, you need to pay for ice water to drink.
Second: When I came out of the Sistine Chapel, I accidentally saw the Swiss G Y Army, which is the only remaining G Y Army since Switzerland abolished the mercenaries, with only about 100 people, as the Vatican garrison, these soldiers have won the trust of the Vatican Pope for hundreds of years by virtue of loyalty, discipline and training, and we all know that the Swiss G Y Army is based on quality and integrity.
It is said that during the French Revolution, the French Emperor's army had been dispersed, and only the Swiss mercenaries held their posts and fought alone until they were all killed.
Although time has changed, it is still very awe-inspiring to watch these two guards not move in the scorching sun.
Third: What are the food in the Vatican, one closer to our hotel, there is a restaurant called L'antica Fraschetta, which has pasta and pizza for 7-10 euros (54-77 yuan) a piece, I feel that the taste is average, not as delicious as the legend on the Internet.

Fourth: the main attractions of the Vatican are: St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums, St. Peter's Square, Vatican Palace, as long as you have booked tickets for these attractions in advance, then you can spend a day to visit, if you are a sightseeing, about 2 hours to 5 hours can also be seen, if there is no reservation ticket, you may not be able to see it even if you live in the Vatican for a month, it is not an exaggeration, because it is too small a place.
Fifth: What are the souvenirs of the Vatican, when I come to the Vatican, I think what is more meaningful than buying a bottle of holy water in St. Peter's Church, plus a bottle of holy water, if I remember correctly, there should be several kinds of holy water bottles, smaller bottles for 3 euros (23 yuan), larger bottles for 5 euros (38 yuan).
The main meaning of buying this souvenir in the Vatican is that the meaning of good luck blessing is the same as our people to burn incense and worship the Buddha, my parents are 60s, and they will go to the temple to incense during the Spring Festival every year, and then buy a blessing bag back, hoping to be safe and good luck in the new year.

Sixth: Sitting and eating on the road of the Vatican is also a beautiful scenery, it feels very lively, this is not that people have no money to eat in the store, mainly because there are too many tourists, a small shop that can only accommodate 10 people, suddenly 100 people came, increased by 10 times, and they have to solve the problem of eating, so they can only buy it, sit on the ground outside to eat, there is a little brother and a fairy sister.

This one tastes sweet, a bit like eating small bugs, slimy, and has all kinds of sauces.
This is a simplified version of Wuhan hot dry noodles, except that there is no sesame paste in it, but there are others.
The Italian catering guys in the small shop all have mustaches, and there are Korean waiters, all dressed in black.
Seventh: Vatican storage suitcase service, if you travel to the Vatican, bring a lot of suitcases, in the case of not staying in the hotel, or buy a lot of things locally, it is not convenient to play, then you can find a place to store suitcases in the Vatican, the price is not very expensive, 24-inch boxes are only 5 euros (38 yuan), 20-inch boxes are 4 euros (31 yuan), you can save a day (24 hours), if you forget to come and pick up a day, then it will automatically renew you.
