It says just steps from Vatican City. It’s probably in one of the buildings the church owns outside the walls. Anyone who has been there knows there are lots of restaurants and cheesy (and not so cheesy) tourist shops right along the walls, and just outside the square.

Yep, like I wrote, this is a nothingburger, especially in Italy.

My favorite McDs are in France. You can get wine!

There are no “walls” outside the square.

McDonald’s opens new restaurant in Vatican City

The restaurant is in a Vatican-owned building where cardinals live.

The Vatican is set to collect a monthly rent of 30,000 euros (or A$43,200) from McDonald’s, according to La Repubblica. The Vatican’s real estate is controlled by the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See. There are already two existing McDonald’s outposts close to the Vatican, in addition to a Burger King, but the new McDonald’s is the only restaurant located in a building owned by the state.
