The Vatican is a small country, many people may not know much about it, the first time I saw this country, I also saw it in the textbook, when the teacher made an introduction on it, saying that there are only a few hundred people in this country, my first reaction at that time was not as big as our village, so small can still be called a country, of course, at that time, there was no culture, and many things could only be obtained from books, until I grew up and went to the Vatican by myself, I knew that the Vatican was not what was introduced in the books。

The income of the common people in the Vatican is very high, its main income comes from religious donations and tourism, foreigners can not join the Vatican nationality at will, can only be solved by internal digestion, it implements a hereditary system, just like the ancient emperors, the father passes on to the son, the son is passed on to the grandson, and so on, to visit the Vatican can be described in four words: dazzling, I can't appreciate many things, especially which works of art, there is not enough cultural heritage to see you don't know what.

1: How to get to the Vatican, take Shanghai as an example, direct flight China Eastern Airlines Shanghai Pudong to Italy Fiumicino Airport (Rome), no need to transfer in the middle, direct flight 12 hours, after arriving at Rome Airport, take a taxi to the Vatican at the airport, or rent a car locally to drive to the Vatican, if you want to save money then you can choose a cheap flight, such as China Southern Airlines in the middle of the need to transfer in Guangzhou, local mobile phone card: can be purchased at Fiumicino Airport or railway station, the local mobile phone card Internet access is faster, about 30-45 euros, Europe can be used in other countries except Switzerland.
2: After arriving at the Vatican, you need to visit the museum, but you need to buy a ticket 1 month before you go, and it is too late to buy a ticket on the spot, so the advantage of buying a ticket in advance is that you don't have to queue.
Just choose a ticket at random on the local official website, here it should be noted that if you want to eat in the local area, if you want to eat, you can buy a ticket with lunch, if you don't eat and bring your own dry food, you can choose a ticket without lunch, you can't come out at will after entering the Vatican Museums, and you need to buy a new ticket after you go in, so you must pay attention, in fact, it is also very understandable that if you want to eat in the museum, you can buy a ticket for 40 euros, and if you don't want to eat, you just want to eat your own bread and instant noodles, so you can buy a ticket for 17 euros.
When I arrived at the Vatican Museums, I printed out the tickets I booked 1 month ago, and then asked the staff to exchange them for paper tickets, just like the 2 small blue cards I held in my hand, like a card like a playing card, and I will also give you a small ticket for dinner, and I will go to the designated place to eat at noon.
A small blue card can receive a fast food like this, a big black plate with 2 dishes, a dish I still don't know, and a garlic carrot with a little bacon, a small bread and a fruit pear, eat must not be full, because it does not fit my Chinese stomach, if you want to drink water, you can go to the cold water to drink no boiling water, you need to bring your own thermos cup to decorate the hot water.
3: Just by looking at the photos, you can know that they are Swiss mercenaries, yes, these mercenaries guard the security of the Vatican, and the total number of them is only about 100 people, and it can also be said that the Vatican garrison troops, these mercenaries have gained the trust of the Pope by virtue of loyalty and discipline.
Look at the military posture of this big brother standing very straight, I can't tell what the weapon in his hand is, have you ever been to the Vatican friends, tell me what it is?
When I went that day, the sun was very big, and the photos I took were dimmed, so I couldn't see the sunlight, and it was still very awe-inspiring to stand there motionless.
4: What is delicious in the Vatican, I personally think the local Chinese restaurant can try it, there are also pasta and pizza (7-10 euros) to choose from, as well as wontons and rice noodles, and there is also milk tea with Chinese logo in the local area.
This is the rice noodles and wontons in the Chinese restaurants of the Vatican, and the wontons are also called wontons, and the rice noodles are very similar to the rice noodles in Guilin, Guangxi and Hunan, at least they taste the same.
This is the local milk tea of the Vatican, with a Chinese logo on it, so that you can see more clearly, the taste of milk tea is not bad, and it is not the same as domestic milk tea.
5: The Vatican is relatively small, there are not many attractions, mainly St. Peter's Church, Sistine Chapel, museums, St. Peter's Square, Vatican Palace, these attractions are the same, I personally think the most worth visiting is the museum, of course, it is too late to buy tickets on the spot, you need to buy reservation tickets in advance, this is not the same as domestic attractions, there is no problem to buy tickets on the spot of domestic attractions, not here, there are many foreign tourists.
6: In addition, there is another question is why no one dares to fight the Vatican, many friends have asked me a question, that is, since the Vatican is so small, the number of people is also very small, and the location is in Italy, so why doesn't Italy just merge it on the line, for this question, I can only say that don't look at the Vatican is small, it has many religious believers around the world, and there is the power of religious belief in it, and the second is that foreigners must go through Italy to fight the Vatican, so Italy is not easy to mess with, so today's situation has been formed.
7: Can you bring some souvenirs back to the Vatican to give away, I think what is more meaningful than buying a bottle of holy water in St. Peter's Church and receiving some holy water, the larger bottle in the church is 5 euros, and the smaller bottle is 3 euros.
The meaning of this holy water bottle is actually the meaning that it can bring you good luck, just like our Chinese older generation people like to go to the temple to pray for blessings during the New Year's holidays, incense, and by the way, ask for a blessing bag or something else to come back to bless their peace and happiness is a truth, my parents are 60s, and they like to burn incense and worship Buddha during the New Year.
The Vatican is the place where the holy water is received

8: Eating on the road outside the Vatican scenic spot is also a landscape, there is a smell of fireworks, at first I saw this unique scenery, I was still very surprised, I thought they all like to squat on the side of the road to eat, in fact, it is not like this, mainly because there are too many foreign tourists who come to the Vatican, many places to eat can not accommodate them, you can only buy what you like to eat, and then find a place outside the store where no one sits on the road to sit and eat.

I bought a noodle, I don't know what is in it, it feels like boiled noodles and then add sesame paste to it, everyone has eaten sesame paste, yes, it's that feeling, sweet and sticky.
Personally, I don't think this noodle tastes very good, because you say it's a hot dry noodle, and it doesn't have tahini in it, and you say it's pasta, and it doesn't taste like it.
The shop is also a diverse place, with Italians, Koreans, and people from other places, but all welcoming.
9: This place must be introduced to everyone, according to the Xi of our countrymen, going out to travel will definitely buy a lot of things, and then carry it too heavy in your own hands, don't be so stupid, there is a place where you can store things in the Vatican, it is very convenient and the price is not very expensive.

10: What are the local prices in such a small country as the Vatican, I believe many people have been curious, so today we will take a look at the prices in the local supermarket. (The Vatican supermarket uses euros, 1 euro is equal to 7.8 yuan, and the exchange rate changes in real time).
