Vatican City: visa and passport requirements

Passport note: 

There are no formalities required to enter the Vatican City, but entry will always be via Rome, and Italian regulations must therefore be complied with.

There is free access only to certain areas of the Vatican City; these include St Peter's Church, St Peter's Square, the Vatican Museum and the Vatican Gardens. Special permission is required to visit areas other than those mentioned.
