Here’s a little challenge for you. You can walk the entire perimeter of Vatican City in about 45 minutes. That’s less time than you spend scrolling through your phone before bed. Imagine telling your friends, “Yesterday I walked around an entire country before lunch.”
And the border? It’s just a white line on the ground. You step over it from Rome, and boom, you’re in a new country. No passport control, just a friendly Swiss Guard in a ridiculous-but-awesome uniform watching you pass by. It feels a bit like stepping into a storybook.
