FAQ

Questions about calling Vatican, answered.

Everything a business or traveller needs to know before dialling Vatican (+379). Can't find an answer? Our team is one click away.

Q1.What is the country code for Vatican?
Vatican's international calling code is +379. Dial it immediately after your exit prefix and before the local subscriber number whenever calling from outside Vatican.
Q2.What is the best time to call Vatican City?
Tuesday–Thursday, 9:30–11:30 AM CET/CEST is the window. Vatican City uses CET (UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) in summer — same as Italy. Vatican offices (the Holy See's dicasteries) keep 8:30 AM–1 PM hours Monday–Saturday. Public audiences with the Pope occur Tuesday–Wednesday mornings. The Vatican essentially closes in August for the summer recess.
Q3.How do I call a number in Vatican City?
Vatican City uses Italian phone infrastructure. Vatican numbers start with 06698 (fixed) or +379 for the Vatican's own country code. From outside Italy, dial +39 06698 then the extension. A typical Vatican office number: +39 06 698 81234.
Q4.Can I call toll-free numbers in Vatican from abroad?
Most Vatican toll-free numbers (freephone numbers) are not reachable from outside Vatican — they are designed for domestic callers only. To contact a Vatican business from abroad, use their international direct number or a VoIP service.
Q5.Can I get a virtual Vatican phone number?
Yes — TKOS provisions virtual inbound DIDs for Vatican (+379). A virtual number lets your customers in Vatican City call a local number while the call routes to you anywhere in the world, with no local SIM or office required.
