When visiting a new town or city for your holiday or business trip, it's always useful to have key contact details to hand as you never know when you might need them.

We've listed some useful contact details below for your reference.

Some Romans, frustrated with the some times too leisurely rate of the Italian Post, have turned to the Vatican for help. It costs the same as Italian mail, but you must buy Vatican stamps and can only mail them (get this) in the Vatican.

In addition to the "Citta' del Vaticano" postmark, you can tell your friends that the stamps were blessed by the Pope. There are Vatican post offices inside the Vatican museums (near the entrance) and two locations in Piazza San Pietro.
