    Souvenirs are excellent items to remember the tourist destinations that you have visited. Vatican City has plenty of wonderful souvenirs to take home with you to your country. Our main photograph on the right depicts the stone sculpture that we purchased outside St. Peter's Cathedral. There are plenty of these souvenir shops around the cathedral. Our second photograph (hidden photo) depicts the beautiful magnet purchased from the souvenir shop inside St. Peter's Cathedral. The souvenir shop is located on the ground floor beside the main entrance to the cathedral.

    Close to the Vatican Museum exit you will find this shop. A good selection of religious items and other artifacts as well. These busts were displayed along with a listing of shipping options and prices with insurance to the US, Europe, Asia and many destinations - very helpful.

    consequences

    The Vatican Pharmacy is located just inside the Vatican City and open to the public, it is claimed one of the world’s most well stocked, with foreign products as well as Italian ones.

    On the other hand, even if you are armed with the requisite prescription and I.D the products reflect the values of the Catholic Church. You will be looking long and hard if you think you will find contraceptives, Viagra or Medicinal Cannabis !

    These charming little silver wing earings were in the Vatican Museum shop where you expect to see mostly religious items.

    Very reasonably priced jewelry.

    There is many shops where you can find all kinds of souvenirs on Vatican City, Vatican Museum and aroun St Peters. You can negociate the price with the vendor and you will get the best price.

    Hay mogollon de tiendas de souvenirs dispersas en toda la ciudad del vaticano, en los museos vaticano y cerca de la plaza de San Pedro. Si eres avispado puedes regatear y ahorrarte algunos euros.

    Basillica Gift Shop (Outside): Religious Artifacts
  • Tip Rating:
  • SJTravel
  • By SJTravel on August 7, 2007
  • Vatican City Page by SJTravel
  • This shop has a lot of the more religious artifacts in the Basillica. When I was there, nuns were running the shop. They were very friendly and very helpful and they spoke several languages (which I thought was nice for the customers). They were also very patient.

    They have SEVERAL rosaries for all different prices, depending on what your fancy is. You can probably get a cheaper rosary outside of San Pietro, but these are authentic and really nice. And all of the rosaries are reasonably priced as well. They had a lot of other religious paraphernalia as well, statues, prayer cards, and little gems. I am not that familiar with Catholicism so I didn't know what everything was, but they had a lot to choose from. They also had some postcards of the different Popes and stuff.

    You can probably expect to pay a good price for what you get....at least that is my opinion. I didn't really shop around for a lot of religious artifacts, but I did notice that the rosaries are a good price for what you get.

    Vatican stamps&letters before 1929

    The "Church-state" - Kirchenstaat - was much bigger than today's Vatican.
    And it also had it's own stamps since around 1874...
    .
    This letter is from 1894 and it is a letter consisting of a double-pagen with the long message in it - and it was finally folded in a way, that the message was not revealed from outside and the stamp and adress for delivery is seen on this scanning - and there was a seal at the back...

    The Vatican has it's own stamps since 1929 - and many of them are still sold to collectors in the post-office on the left side standing in front of the Basilica.

    much more interesting than the plain stamp will certainly be to get official letters from the Vatican-state-offices to one of their Cardinals...
    .
    ...like this letter for Cardinal Innizer ( he was Cardinal of Vienna during WW2 and beyond) of 1953 - it was a registered letter, sent by airmail and has the emblem of the pope on the backside of the letter

    Stamps from the Vatican are different from the Italian ones! They might make a nice souvenir!

    Watch out: some of the places make you buy 61c stamps (for a letter), even if you only want to send postcards - 41c)!
