Most visitors to the Vatican arrive on buses as part of tour groups, by taxi, on foot or by train. The Holy See has 862m (942 yards) of railway line. Get off at Rome's St Peter's Station. From Rome's Termini railway station, take bus 64 or the quicker 40. Alternatively, jump on Line A of the metro for Ottaviano-San Pietro (St Peter's) or Cipro-Musei Vaticani (Vatican Museums).
Getting Around
''The easiest way of getting round the Vatican is on foot - distances are small and directions are easy. For the leg-weary, bus 49 stops off at Piazza Risorgimento en route to the Vatican Museums on Viale del Vaticano.
