14 Dec, 2020
While on vacation in Rome many tourists enquire about sending a postcard from Vatican City with a
Vatican stamp, either as a souvenir for themselves or as a novel gesture to family or friends back home.
Established in 1929, the Vatican postal system has a reputation of being one of the most efficient in the world.
The Vatican Post Office is open to everyone, for sending mail both inside and outside Vatican City, just make sure you use the
yellow post box for Vatican mail and not a red post box for Italian mail.
