Each year, Vatican City attracts a substantial number of visitors, highlighting its status as a major religious, cultural, and historical destination. Although exact figures can fluctuate, recent estimates suggest that approximately 5 to 7 million people visit Vatican City annually. As the administrative and spiritual capital of the Catholic Church, it draws pilgrims, tourists, and scholars from around the globe.
