Vatican City is the world’s smallest fully independent nation-state. The Holy See is the name given to the government of the Roman Catholic Church, which is led by the pope as the bishop of Rome. As such, the Holy See’s authority extends over Catholics throughout the world. Since 1929 it has resided in Vatican City, which was established as an independent state to enable the pope to exercise his universal authority. The Vatican palace is the residence of the pope within the city walls.

I was traveling to Vatican City with my Schengen visa from Finland! Despite holding a Nepalese passport, I had the advantage of visa-free travel to Vatican City as it is located within the Schengen Area. No additional documents or visa fees were required for entry into Vatican City with a valid Schengen visa.
