I've added the terminology tag since many feel this question is about the definition of country.

| Nov 13, 2012 at 6:31 | comment | added | hippietrail | I've never met anybody from Vatican City but I met lots of guys from San Marino when I first started working in a hostel in Sydney. And if I visit Rome then Vatican is just inside anyway. For San Marino I would have to go out of my way. Oh and the Vatican doesn't even have a Grand Prix! (-; | |

| Nov 12, 2012 at 19:05 | comment | added | mouviciel | Vatican City is a country. But I would count it only after having visited the buildings and the parks that are not accessible to tourists (and that you can see when you climb on the top of San Pietro). | |

| Nov 12, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | Maître Peseur | @hippietrail - As opposed to San Marino, Vatican has exceptional things to offer: one of the biggest churches in the world and a splendid museum. San Marino can be worth a visit if you are passing quite near by. There is nothing really exceptional about this place. It looks very much like a lot of other places in Italy. | |
| Nov 12, 2012 at 17:19 | comment | added | Maître Peseur | This is quite a political question. What is a "country" and what is not a "country"? The other day on the chat, there was a big discussion on this topic. Moreover, I have the impression that if "Vatican" is replaced by something else (maybe you know what I mean) then we will have a nice flame war. hence -1 and vote to close. | |

It > helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear > weapons, but at the very least you need a beer." Frank Zappa Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com | |

| Nov 12, 2012 at 8:58 | comment | added | hippietrail | I feel the same way about the Vatican City, it's not like I wouldn't visit, more like I would visit when I'm visiting Rome anyway. Then again I'm not much into counting countries or pins in maps type travel. I'd much rather visit that other tiny enclave nation within Italy - San Marino! | |
