Hello fellow travelers. I know that Rick Steves once talked about this on his show, but I was wondering if it was still possible to get your Passport stamped at the Vatican post office? If so, where is the post office located and what are the rules? Thank you

The Vatican does not stamp your passport. You can purchase Vatican postage stamps or buy a postcard, put a Vatican stamp on it have it mailed directly from the Vatican.
Official address: Vatican Post, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City

I wouldn’t recommend going to the post office for a stamp. Any unofficial/unauthorized stamp in your passport could invalidate it.

Nor do you get a stamp when you cross the border into any other Schengen country, like France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia. There is nobody there to stamp it, as there is no legal reason. The days of collecting passport stamps is over in most of Europe.
